How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Start the Potatoes and Carrots

Add the baby potatoes and carrots to the baking sheet. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Roast for 10 minutes while you prepare the chicken.

3. Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, paprika, and olive oil until smooth and combined.

4. Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them lightly with salt and black pepper. Brush generously with the honey mustard mixture.

5. Add the Chicken

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and arrange the chicken thighs between the partially roasted potatoes and carrots.

6. Continue Roasting

Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for about 15 minutes.

7. Add the Broccoli

Toss the broccoli with a little olive oil and add it to the baking sheet. Brush the chicken with another thin layer of honey mustard sauce.

8. Finish Cooking

Roast for another 10–15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Tips for the Best Honey Mustard Chicken

• Cut the potatoes into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
• Give the ingredients enough space on the pan so they roast instead of steam.
• Add the broccoli later to prevent it from becoming too soft.
• Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the chicken.
• For extra caramelization, broil the chicken for 1–2 minutes at the end while watching it carefully.

What to Serve with Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs
