A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring crispy skin-on chicken thighs glazed with a tangy honey mustard sauce, roasted alongside fresh spring vegetables for a flavorful and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds / 900g)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (optional): thyme or rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  4. Place chicken thighs skin-side up on a rimmed sheet pan, leaving space between each piece.
  5. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over each chicken thigh, getting under the skin if possible. Reserve any leftover glaze.
  6. In a large bowl, combine asparagus, sugar snap peas, baby carrots, and red onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and add the reserved glaze. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  7. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken on the sheet pan in a single layer. Tuck fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs among the veggies if using.
  8. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes for golden, crisp skin and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Vegetables should be tender but still slightly crisp.
  9. Optional: Broil on high for 2-3 minutes if the chicken skin needs extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Patting the chicken skin dry is essential for crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Broiling at the end can enhance skin crispiness. Tossing vegetables with leftover glaze adds flavor without overpowering. Use parchment paper or silicone baking mat to ease cleanup.
