Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup liquid honey
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 8 bone in, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lb baby potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups fresh green beans, halved
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar to create the honey garlic sauce. Pour half into a large freezer bag with chicken thighs and marinate in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes or overnight. Reserve the other half in the fridge for later use.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Season the chicken thighs with this mixture, setting aside some for the vegetables.
- In a medium bowl, toss the baby potatoes and green beans with oil and the remaining seasoning until evenly coated. Place them on the other side of the baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- While baking, take the reserved honey garlic sauce, pour it into a small saucepan, and whisk in the cornstarch. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until thickened.
- After 30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the chicken with the thickened sauce. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the veggies are tender.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Feel free to swap out the veggies based on what you have on hand.
The sauce can be adjusted for sweetness by adding more or less honey.
