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
- Combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar in a bowl to make the honey garlic sauce.
- Pour half of the sauce into a large freezer bag with chicken thighs and marinate for 30-60 minutes or overnight. Refrigerate the remaining sauce for later.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the baking sheet.
- Mix salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then season the chicken thighs with this spice blend, keeping some for the veggies.
- In a medium bowl, combine baby potatoes and green beans with oil and the remaining salt mixture, then place them on the opposite side of the baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken and vegetables in the oven for 30 minutes.
- While they bake, prepare the remaining sauce in a saucepan by whisking in corn starch and bringing to a simmer while cooking until thickened.
- After 30 minutes, remove the bake sheet and brush the chicken with the thickened sauce. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for variety.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
