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
- Prepare the honey garlic sauce by mixing honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Combine half of this mixture with the chicken thighs in a large freezer bag and marinate for 30-60 minutes, or overnight if preferred. Save the remaining sauce in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange chicken thighs on one side of the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Season the chicken thighs with this mixture, saving some for the vegetables.
- In a medium bowl, mix the baby potatoes and green beans with oil and the leftover seasoning until everything is well coated. Place them on the other side of the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- While it bakes, whisk the remaining sauce and corn starch in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
- Once the 30 minutes are up, take the baking sheet out of the oven and brush the chicken with the thickened sauce. Return it to bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F and vegetables are tender.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight if time allows.
Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check the chicken’s doneness for food safety.
You can substitute the vegetables based on your preference; carrots and broccoli also work well.
