Ingredients
Chicken and Potatoes
- 4 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
- 1 lb baby potatoes halved or quartered
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Honey Garlic Glaze
- ⅓ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and halve the potatoes. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Sear the Chicken
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or sheet pan over medium heat.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
Cook the Potatoes
- Add the potatoes to the same skillet. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly golden.
Combine and Bake
- Nestle the seared chicken thighs among the potatoes in the skillet or on the sheet pan.
- Pour the honey garlic glaze over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring even coverage.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme, parsley, or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
