Ingredients

⅓ cup honey

1 ½ tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari

4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

8 (5 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

1 pound small carrots, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 

4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 pound)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground pepper

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon water

Directions

Whisk honey, soy sauce (or tamari), garlic, vinegar and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Place chicken and half of the honey mixture (about 1/4 cup) in a zip-top plastic bag; remove excess air and seal bag. Massage the chicken in the sealed bag until well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. Reserve the remaining honey mixture.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil; coat with cooking spray. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard marinade); arrange on 1 side of the prepared pan. Combine carrots and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl; toss well to coat. Spread the carrots in an even layer on the other side of the pan. Bake the chicken and carrots for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; stir the carrots.

Combine broccoli and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; toss well to coat. Distribute the broccoli evenly over the chicken and carrots on the pan. Sprinkle salt and pepper over all. Bake until the vegetables are tender and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 15 to 18 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl until no clumps remain. Combine the cornstarch mixture and the reserved honey mixture in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, whisking once or twice. Simmer, whisking often, until the sauce is clear and thickened, about 2 minutes. Drizzle over the chicken and vegetables. Serve hot.

Notes: Lining your baking sheet with foil will protect your pan from the sticky honey-soy-garlic sauce, so cleanup will be a breeze too. If you can't find small carrots, cut medium carrots in half lengthwise.

Made twice and it was a hit with the whole family! Made with a side of rice. Chicken was so juicy and delicious. Love the sauce!
