How to Make Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
- Honey
- Soy sauce
- Olive oil
- Minced garlic
- Paprika
- Salt
- Black pepper
Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly with the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Roast the Potatoes and Carrots
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the baby potatoes and carrots on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Toss to coat evenly.
Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
Step 3: Bake the Chicken
Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Place the marinated chicken thighs on a lined baking tray.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
The chicken is ready when:
- The skin is golden and caramelized
- The juices run clear
- The internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle boil.
Carefully add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes for a jammy center.
Transfer immediately to an ice bath.
Peel and cut in half.
Step 5: Steam the Broccoli
Steam the broccoli florets for 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 6: Warm the Sweet Corn
Heat the corn kernels in a small skillet or saucepan for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
Step 7: Assemble the Plate
Arrange the chicken thighs on serving plates.
Add the roasted baby potatoes and carrots.
Place the broccoli, sweet corn, and halved soft-boiled eggs alongside.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately.
