A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring juicy bone-in chicken thighs glazed with a honey garlic butter sauce, roasted alongside tender vegetables for a comforting family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 large carrots, cut into sticks
  • 8 ounces green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. In another bowl, toss baby potatoes, carrots, and green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on a large rimmed sheet pan, spacing them out. Scatter the vegetables around the chicken in an even layer.
  6. Brush the honey garlic butter glaze generously over the chicken and vegetables.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through (around 20 minutes), baste the chicken and stir the vegetables for even cooking. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and skin is golden and crisp.
  8. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispy skin, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before roasting for crispy skin. Toss veggies well in olive oil and seasonings to avoid sogginess. Melt butter gently to avoid browning. Stir veggies halfway through roasting for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting. Optional broil at the end for extra crispiness. Potatoes can be parboiled for 5 minutes if not cooking through. Variations include swapping potatoes for sweet potatoes or green beans for brussels sprouts. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
