A comforting and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs glazed with a sweet-savory honey garlic sauce, roasted alongside golden potatoes that soak up all the delicious juices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or baby red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  3. Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels to ensure crispiness. Toss the chicken thighs in half of the marinade, coating evenly. Let sit while prepping potatoes.
  4. Wash and halve or quarter the potatoes. Toss them in the remaining marinade.
  5. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving space for the chicken.
  6. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up among the potatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the chicken and potatoes.
  7. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy. Potatoes should be tender with crispy edges.
  8. If the chicken skin is not crispy enough, broil for 2-3 minutes watching closely.
  9. Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve chicken thighs with roasted potatoes and spoon pan juices over the top.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before marinating for best crispiness. Use high heat (425°F) to crisp skin without drying meat. Do not flip chicken during roasting. Marinate for 15-30 minutes to avoid burning honey. If potatoes cook faster, move them aside or cover with foil to keep warm. For extra garlic flavor, add whole garlic cloves to the pan before roasting. To reheat leftovers, warm in a 375°F oven for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
