A quick and easy one-pan recipe featuring crispy honey mustard chicken thighs roasted alongside golden baby potatoes, delivering a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Lightly salt and pepper both sides, then brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the skin and undersides of the chicken.
  4. In the same bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and a bit of the honey mustard glaze, coating evenly.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin side down and cook for about 5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Do not move them around.
  6. Nestle the potatoes around the chicken in the skillet. If using, tuck fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs around for aroma.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender and crispy.
  8. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Sear skin-side down before roasting to build a crispy crust. If potatoes crisp faster than chicken cooks, loosely cover pan with foil halfway through roasting. Rest chicken 5 minutes after cooking for juicy meat. For a spicy kick, add cayenne or red pepper flakes to glaze. Can substitute sweet potatoes or other root vegetables for potatoes. For low-carb, replace potatoes with cauliflower florets.
