A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy honey mustard glazed chicken thighs and roasted vegetables, perfect for family meals with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1/2 pound (225g) Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (a few)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make the honey mustard glaze.
  3. Wash and halve the baby potatoes, peel and cut carrots into sticks, and halve Brussels sprouts, keeping pieces roughly the same size.
  4. Toss the vegetables with a tablespoon of the honey mustard glaze in a large mixing bowl until lightly coated.
  5. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  6. Spread the vegetables evenly in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving room for the chicken.
  7. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and brush each piece generously with the remaining honey mustard glaze.
  8. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the baking sheet among the vegetables and tuck fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs around the pan.
  9. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through (around 20 minutes), use tongs to turn the vegetables for even browning. Do not flip the chicken.
  10. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and that the skin is golden and crispy, and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before glazing to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. If chicken skin isn’t crispy enough, broil for the last 2-3 minutes watching carefully. Leftovers reheat best in the oven to maintain crispiness.
