Sheet pan meals are not just easy to make, they can super flavorful and yummy too! Sheet pan chicken meals have come to my rescue on many a weeknight, and on days when I couldn't be bothered to make elaborate meals.
Chicken and potatoes are a combination that is perfect for sheet pan meals. The two ingredients cook at the same time and can be flavoured with any combination of spices and condiments. If you've been a reader of my blog, you'll know that I absolutely adore honey and garlic - I use these to make the marinade for my honey chili prawns, tamarind and honey-glazed salmon, and many more.
This recipe is packed with flavor - the chicken, potatoes, and carrots roast in a marinade made with honey and garlic and the roasting juices are SO GOOD!
Ingredients
To make this recipe, you wil need:
- Chicken Thighs and Legs (bone-in, skin-on)
- Potatoes (any variety of roasting potatoes will do)
- Carrots (rinsed and chopped)
- For the marinade - Olive oil, honey, garlic, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, dried herbs (basil, thyme and parsley)
How to Make Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Chicken
- Add the chicken pieces, carrots, potatoes along with the marinade ingredients to a food-safe bag.
- Toss all the ingredients in the bag until the chicken and vegetables are well coated with the marinade.
- Transfer all the contents of the bag onto an oven-proof tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 C (350 F) for 20 minutes.
- The resulting pan juices are so flavorful, you'd be hard-pressed not to spoon them into your mouth immediately! But, be patient, let the chicken rest for 5 -7 minutes.
- Serve with some crusty bread on the side.
