A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce, roasted alongside tender vegetables for a flavorful, fuss-free meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 lbs / 1.4 kg)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved (small red or gold potatoes)
  • 3 medium carrots, cut into thick sticks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 180 g)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine halved baby potatoes and carrot sticks. Pour about half of the honey mustard sauce over the veggies and toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the vegetables out on one half of a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side up on the other half of the baking sheet.
  6. Brush each chicken thigh generously with the remaining honey mustard sauce, including under the skin where possible. Sprinkle extra salt and pepper on top.
  7. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
  8. After 25 minutes, flip the potatoes and carrots with tongs for even browning. Scatter fresh broccoli florets over the veggies, toss gently with a bit of olive oil and salt.
  9. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until chicken skin is golden and crispy, vegetables are tender, and chicken internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
  11. Serve chicken thighs alongside roasted vegetables, spooning any pan juices over the top.

Notes

Patting the chicken skin dry before glazing helps achieve extra crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow air circulation. Add broccoli halfway through roasting to prevent overcooking. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end if more crispiness is desired, but watch carefully to avoid burning. Frozen broccoli can be used but roast less time to avoid mushiness. For gluten-free, verify mustard labels. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven to maintain crispiness.
