Description
An easy and flavorful sheet pan dinner featuring roasted chicken thighs and zucchini, glazed with a spicy hot honey marinade.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Mix the marinade in a bowl by combining hot honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Pour half of the marinade over the chicken thighs in a large bowl or plastic bag, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Slice the zucchinis and arrange them on a prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining marinade and toss to coat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side up on the sheet pan with the zucchinis.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes if you desire crispy chicken skin.
- Rest the chicken for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving.
Notes
Marinating the chicken overnight enhances flavor. Adjust the hot honey to your spice preference.
