Ingredients
- Boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
- Yukon Gold potatoes (or wax/red potatoes), cut into 1-inch cubes
- Dijon mustard
- Wildflower honey
- Apple cider vinegar
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Dried thyme
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Add chicken thighs to the bowl with the potatoes. Pour half of the honey mustard sauce over the mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.
- Line a large half-sheet pan (18×13 inches) with parchment paper or grease lightly. Spread the chicken and potatoes in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven, flip the chicken pieces, and spoon accumulated sauce from the pan over the chicken.
- Return to oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender and golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking. Do not crowd the pan, as this will cause steaming instead of roasting. If using chicken breasts, reduce cooking time by 5-10 minutes and pound to even thickness. Honey burns easily; tent with foil if darkening too quickly.
