Juicy honey garlic chicken thighs and crispy roast potatoes are seared and baked in the most FLAVORFUL honey garlic sauce in this no-fuss one skillet dinner!

I’m a one skillet dinner’s biggest.freaking.fan, guys. But you probably already knew that because of dinner wins like this caramelized onion chicken wild rice. Or this peanut satay chicken stir-fry.

P.S. Today’s winner winner one-pot-chicken-dinner takes the current crushing prize. These chicken thighs win the whole kit and kaboodle.

HANDS DOWN.

Oh, and a quick word about my brand spankin’ new cast iron. First thing I made with it was this chicken and it’s definitely one of my favorite birthday presents from my smart little sister.

Also, my whole family/boyfriend are apparently smart? 95% of the birthday presents I received were kitchen goodies.

The best kinda birthday haul, no question about it.

But this chicken! And all those glorious little roast potatoes! You’re never going to want to eat anything else for dinner ever again.

Prep for this honey garlic chicken is as follows >>>

• Pan-sear the chicken thighs until a luscious golden-brown and throw some onions and a mess of little potato cubes into the skillet to get all roasty-toasty.
• Sauce. Honey garlic sauce gets made right in the same pan and it is to.die.for. Throw your chicken and potatoes back in the pan and nestle em in ALL THE SAUCE. Ensure that every inch is covered.

Into the oven with everything for a little while and your job is basically done. Besides demolishing said skillet which we all know is the most crucial job.

The chicken seriously bakes up SO ridiculously moist and tender in the honey garlic sauce and meanwhile the potatoes get crispy and golden to the MAX.

I could eat this for dinner every day tbh, guys.

With extra-extra-EXTRA drenchings of sauce please and thank you. >
