A quick and easy one-pan recipe featuring crispy chicken thighs and roasted broccoli coated in a sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights and cozy dinners with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Set aside.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add chicken thighs skin side down and sear for 5-6 minutes without moving until skin is golden brown and crisp.
  5. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for 2 minutes on the other side.
  6. Scatter broccoli florets around the chicken in the pan and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Drizzle the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and broccoli.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-18 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and broccoli is tender with crispy edges.
  9. Optional: Broil on high for 2-3 minutes for extra crispy skin and broccoli tips, watching closely to prevent burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon pan juices over chicken and broccoli.

Notes

Dry chicken skin thoroughly before searing for best crispiness. If broccoli browns too quickly, loosely cover the pan with foil halfway through roasting. Use room temperature chicken for even cooking. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Optional red pepper flakes add a subtle kick. Broil briefly for extra crispiness but watch carefully to avoid burning.
