Description
Honeyed, smoky chicken thighs paired with crispy garlic-Parmesan potatoes create a comforting yet special meal perfect for the whole family.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless; skin-on for extra flavor)
- 1 cup honey BBQ sauce
- 4 large potatoes, diced into 1/2–3/4 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil for easier cleanup.
- Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, half of the Parmesan, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on the sheet.
- Roast the potatoes for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway, until edges are golden and crispy.
- While the potatoes roast, heat a grill or heavy skillet over medium heat. Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. Coat each thigh with honey BBQ sauce.
- Grill or sear the chicken about 6–7 minutes per side for boneless thighs (8–10 minutes for bone-in), flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is caramelized.
- Remove potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan, toss gently, and let the cheese melt.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. Serve thighs alongside the garlic-Parmesan potatoes and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra crispy potatoes, avoid overcrowding the pan and use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and flavor. Leftovers are versatile and can be used in wraps or grain bowls.
