Ingredients
-
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
-
1/3 cup soy sauce
-
1/4 cup honey
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (optional, to thicken sauce)
For the vegetables:
-
2 cups broccoli florets
-
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
-
1 red bell pepper, sliced
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.
-
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and let sit for 15–30 minutes (optional but recommended).
-
Arrange the marinated chicken on one side of the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
-
Remove the sheet from the oven and add the vegetables to the other side. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the remaining marinade over the veggies.
-
Return to oven and bake for another 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F) and veggies are tender.
-
Optional: For a thicker glaze, simmer remaining marinade with cornstarch and water in a small saucepan for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Brush over chicken before serving.
-
Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving, if using.
Notes
-
Boneless chicken thighs or breasts can be used—just reduce cook time slightly.
-
Feel free to swap in other veggies like zucchini, green beans, or sweet potatoes.
-
Serve with rice or noodles for a heartier meal.
