A simple, quick, and delicious one-pan meal featuring crispy honey mustard glazed chicken thighs and tender roasted carrots, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds / 700 grams)
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds (about 1 pound / 450 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried, optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and fresh thyme or rosemary. Set aside.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Toss the peeled and cut carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a little pepper in a separate bowl.
  5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, leaving space for the carrots. Nestle the carrots around the chicken evenly.
  6. Brush the honey mustard sauce generously over the chicken thighs and carrots.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden, and the carrots are tender and caramelized.
  8. Optional: Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispy skin, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry for crispy skin. Use room temperature chicken for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting. Optional searing before roasting boosts flavor and crispiness. Cover pan loosely with foil if carrots brown too fast. Flip carrots once during roasting for even browning.
