Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for glaze)
  • 2 cups baby carrots (or sliced regular carrots)
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for vegetables)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (for vegetables)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the honey mustard glaze. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss baby carrots, halved Brussels sprouts, potato chunks, and red onion wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried thyme or rosemary if using until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the vegetables evenly on a rimmed sheet pan, leaving room for the chicken thighs.
  5. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin, then brush each piece generously with the honey mustard glaze on all sides.
  6. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet pan among the vegetables, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  7. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, checking at about 30 minutes. The chicken should be golden and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the vegetables should be tender and caramelized on the edges.
  8. Optional: For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before glazing to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 5 minutes but watch carefully. If potatoes are not tender, microwave briefly or start roasting them 10 minutes earlier. The glaze can be loosened with a splash of warm water if it thickens during prep.
