🛒 Ingredients:
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp honey
3 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chilli flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 lb broccoli florets (or Brussels sprouts)
1 red onion, sliced into wedges
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
🔪 Method:
Season the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, rubbing it well into the meat.
Add the Veggies: Add the cubed sweet potatoes, broccoli (or Brussels sprouts), and red onion to the bowl. Season the veggies with salt and pepper. Toss everything together gently.
Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, paprika, and chilli flakes.
Marinate: Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables. Mix well to coat everything evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight in the fridge for deeper flavour.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the chicken and veggies evenly on a lined baking sheet.
Roast: Bake for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender and slightly caramelised.
Serve & Enjoy: Serve hot, straight from the tray, with an optional squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
