This easy one-pan recipe features bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs glazed in a sticky honey garlic sauce, roasted alongside crisp-tender broccoli for a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds / 900 g)
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups / 300 g)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil, plus extra for drizzling broccoli
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, then toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side.
  6. Nestle the broccoli florets around the chicken in the skillet. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and broccoli.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and broccoli is tender with crispy edges.
  8. Remove from oven, spoon some of the pan sauce over the chicken and broccoli, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Optional: Broil chicken skin for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before seasoning for crispy skin. Do not move chicken too early when searing to develop a golden crust. If sauce reduces too much, add a splash of water or chicken broth to loosen. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Broccoli can be swapped with asparagus, green beans, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts. For gluten-free, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Broil chicken skin briefly at the end for extra crispiness if desired.
