Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan
  • cutting board
  • chef's knife
  • tongs or spatula
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp tamari or coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for marinade)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for vegetables)
  • to garnish fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, apple cider vinegar, tamari, olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Chop all vegetables and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional smoked paprika for extra warmth.
  • Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 5–6 minutes until golden. Flip and cook another 3 minutes.
  • Arrange veggies around the chicken in the skillet. Pour any leftover marinade over everything. Roast in a 400°F oven for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally and veggies are tender.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm. Pair with rice, pilaf, or soup for a complete meal.

Notes

Use a cast iron skillet for best results. Marinate overnight for deeper flavor. Baste with juices during roasting. Swap in seasonal vegetables as needed. This dish pairs beautifully with rice, pilaf, or soup shooters.
