Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger optional
  • 1 lb mixed vegetables (broccoli florets, bell pepper slices, carrots, zucchini chunks)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Paper towels
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk
  • Basting brush

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and grated ginger (if using) to create the glaze.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Toss the mixed vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then scatter them around the chicken on the baking sheet.
  3. Brush about half of the honey-garlic glaze generously over the chicken thighs.
  4. Roast for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove the baking sheet, flip the chicken (optional), and brush with the remaining glaze; toss vegetables with pan juices.
  6. Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and is crispy, and vegetables are tender-crisp.
Finishing
  1. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
  2. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the glaze for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator) before roasting. Ensure vegetables are cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
