A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy honey mustard chicken thighs roasted with baby potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts for a flavorful and comforting family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 46 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold or red potatoes)
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and fragrant.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Coat each piece evenly with the honey mustard glaze. Marinate for 10-15 minutes if time allows.
  4. Toss halved baby potatoes, carrot sticks, and Brussels sprouts in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on a large rimmed sheet pan. Arrange vegetables around the chicken without overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes. Halfway through, use tongs to flip the vegetables for even cooking, keeping chicken skin-side up.
  7. Switch oven to broil and broil for 3-5 minutes until chicken skin is golden and crispy. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Check that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes on the pan before serving with the roasted vegetables.

Notes

Pat chicken dry for crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow air circulation. Broil at the end for 3-5 minutes to crisp skin. Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes if they take longer to cook. Reheat leftovers in oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
