A quick and fuss-free sheet pan recipe featuring crispy honey garlic chicken thighs and roasted veggies, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to make the honey garlic sauce.
  3. Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  4. Lightly season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then place them skin-side up on a rimmed sheet pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss baby carrots, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and sliced red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Arrange the veggies evenly around the chicken on the sheet pan in a single layer.
  7. Brush the honey garlic sauce generously over the chicken thighs and drizzle some over the veggies.
  8. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through (around 20 minutes), baste the chicken again with sauce and gently toss the veggies to turn.
  9. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), the skin is golden and crispy, and the veggies are tender but not mushy.
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry for crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting. Baste chicken halfway through cooking for layered flavor. Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for best texture. For a charred finish, broil last 2-3 minutes watching carefully. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Veggies can be swapped seasonally.
