Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 500 grams (about 1 pound) baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (plus more for garnish)
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crisp skin during cooking.
- Season Chicken and Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, baby potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat everything with the seasoning and oil.
- Make Honey Garlic Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish skin-side up. Scatter the baby potatoes around the chicken evenly.
- Add Sauce: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes to ensure flavor infusion while baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake for about 35-40 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) and the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh thyme over the top for added aroma and taste. Serve hot directly from the pan.
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with quartered regular potatoes if preferred.
- For extra crispiness, broil the dish for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain texture.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) for safe consumption.
