Print Recipe

A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring juicy chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and savory honey soy sauce, roasted alongside caramelized broccoli for a wholesome, crowd-pleasing dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 medium head)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for tossing broccoli
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin-side up on a parchment-lined or silicone mat-lined sheet pan.
  4. Brush the marinade generously over the chicken thighs, including under the skin if possible. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of marinade for later.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread broccoli evenly around the chicken on the sheet pan.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes. Halfway through, flip the broccoli and baste the chicken with the reserved marinade.
  7. Check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and that the skin is crispy and golden. The broccoli should be tender with caramelized edges.
  8. Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Dry the chicken skin thoroughly before roasting to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the broccoli. Marinate chicken for at least 15 minutes or up to overnight for deeper flavor. If broccoli cooks faster, remove it early and let chicken finish roasting. Reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain crispy skin.
