A quick and easy one-pan recipe featuring bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, paired with perfectly roasted broccoli. This comforting meal is perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds / 900g)
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups / 300g)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
  4. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Place chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes without moving until skin is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side.
  8. Nestle broccoli florets around the chicken in the skillet, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
  9. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and broccoli.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and broccoli is tender with slight char.
  11. Halfway through roasting, baste the chicken with some of the sauce to keep it sticky and flavorful.
  12. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before searing to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent soggy skin. Add garlic with the sauce to avoid burning. If sauce is too thin after roasting, simmer it on the stove to thicken. Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for best flavor and juiciness. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. For low-carb, replace honey with monk fruit syrup or another keto-friendly sweetener.
