A simple and reliable sheet pan recipe delivering crispy skin chicken thighs with a sweet-tangy maple Dijon glaze and perfectly roasted veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds/900g)
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 cup carrots, cut into thick sticks
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for veggies)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place the thighs in the bowl with the glaze and toss to coat evenly. Let them sit for 10 minutes if time allows.
  4. In another bowl, toss the baby potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs if using until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the veggies out in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan. Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up among the veggies, giving each piece some space.
  6. Roast for 30-35 minutes. About halfway through, use tongs to gently turn the veggies for even caramelization. Leave the chicken skin side up; do not flip it.
  7. Check for doneness: chicken thighs should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), skin should be golden and crisp, and veggies tender with browned edges.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes off the heat before serving.

Notes

Patting the chicken dry before glazing is essential for crispy skin. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent soggy veggies. For extra caramelization, broil for the last 2 minutes watching closely. Rest chicken after roasting to lock in juices. Leftovers reheat best in the oven to maintain crispness.
