Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup (85g) honey
- 2 tablespoons (30g) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved
- 8 ounces (225g) green beans or asparagus
- Olive oil for drizzling vegetables
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
- Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and green beans or asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up on a large rimmed baking sheet, spaced apart. Nestle the potatoes and green beans around the chicken.
- Brush each chicken thigh generously with the honey mustard glaze and drizzle any remaining glaze over the vegetables.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), the skin is golden brown and caramelized, and the potatoes are tender.
- Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes to crisp the skin further, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Pat chicken dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. Apply honey mustard glaze just before baking and again halfway through to prevent burning. If potatoes cook faster than chicken, remove early and keep warm. Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for juicier meat and crispier skin. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
