Instructions

1

Prepare the marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha. Set aside.

Pro tip: Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preferred spice level.

2

Marinate the chicken

Place chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: For best results, marinate overnight.

3

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

4

Prepare the vegetables

In a large bowl, toss broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and onion with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pro tip: Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.

5

Assemble the sheet pan

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Spread the vegetables on the other side, ensuring they are in a single layer.

6

Roast the chicken and vegetables

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when probed at the thickest part, and the vegetables are tender.

Pro tip: Rotate the pan halfway through cooking for even roasting.
