Ingredients
  

Chicken:
  • o 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (you can use breasts if you prefer, but thighs stay juicier and more flavorful)
Potatoes:
  • o 1.5 pounds of baby potatoes or small Yukon Gold potatoes halved or quartered for even roasting
Honey Mustard Glaze:
  • o 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard for that smooth tang
  • o 2 tablespoons honey adds the perfect touch of sweetness
  • o 2 tablespoons olive oil helps with roasting and flavor
  • o 3 cloves garlic minced (for a savory punch)
Herbs & Seasoning:
  • o 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 2 teaspoons fresh chopped (for that lovely Mediterranean aroma)
  • o Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Preheat Your Oven
  1. Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is perfect for roasting the chicken skin to crispy perfection while cooking the potatoes evenly.
Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. This glaze is the magic behind the sweet and tangy flavor.
Coat the Chicken and Potatoes
  1. Place the chicken thighs and halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey mustard glaze over everything and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly. Make sure the potatoes get a good coverage—they’ll soak up those wonderful flavors while roasting.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet
  1. Spread the coated chicken and potatoes out on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Give the skin side of the chicken a little extra space to help it crisp up beautifully.
  2. Roast and Flip
  3. Roast for about 35–40 minutes. Halfway through, use tongs to carefully flip the potatoes and baste the chicken with any juices on the pan. This helps the potatoes brown evenly and the chicken stay moist.
Check for Doneness
  1. The chicken is ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the potatoes should be tender inside with a golden, crispy exterior. If needed, pop it back in the oven for a few extra minutes.
Rest and Serve
  1. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving—this keeps the juices locked in. Then plate your masterpiece and get ready to enjoy!
