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.
Note: Boneless thighs will also work with this recipe! Decrease the baking time by 5-8 minutes and bake until chicken registers 165.
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. >

Hi, I only have fingerling potatoes. Should I bake at less than 400 for a shorter amount of time? I worry the fingerling potatoes might cook too fast and shrivel up. I’m also thinking of adding veggies as well.
Sarah says
Depending on the size, fingerlings should take roughly around the same time as the potatoes the recipe calls for. I would recommend checking them around 20 minutes and piercing them with a fork to check if they’re tender. As an alternative, you can also roast the fingerlings separately from the chicken with other veggies if you’re worried about the timing!

Absolutely delicious. Used a little bit of sriracha sauce to dip. One of my new favorite meals. The sriracha is a great compliment to the honey.
Sarah says
Love the addition of sriracha sauce! Thanks for letting me know, Joe! 🙂

Christine Nazario says
I LOVE this recipe! I followed the recipe exactly, however it’s been hot here, so I simmered over the stove for about 20 minutes and it tasted delicious! I’m sure I didn’t get the crispiness from the potatoes, but they are “to die for”! Can’t wait to try in the oven when the weather cools. Thank you!
Sarah says
So glad to hear you love this recipe, Christine! Thanks for the feedback. 🙂

This recipe is amazing. First time making it and my family loved it. I’ve struggled with dinner ideas since it seams like all I do is cook during this pandemic and I’m so happy I came across this recipe.
Sarah says
Aww I’m so happy to hear that, Lupe! Hope you and your family enjoyed! 🙂
Dandre says
Made this for my family tonight. Big hit! I used a dry measuring cup for the honey, but it’s really just to get it close. I wouldn’t worry too much about being exact with marinades.

Absolutely delish! Have shared, bookmarked online and even put the printed recipe in my recipe box! Yummy!

Jan says
This was BOMB! I found myself wishing for some mushrooms in it, so I may swap out some of the potatoes next time for those. Would be delicious with roasted carrots on the side too. Chicken was so tender! Added a little cayenne pepper when I seasoned the thighs (probably similar to adding siracha) and that gave it a bit of kick. Great recipe!
Sarah says
Mushrooms would be wonderful here! Let me know how it turns out if you try it. 🙂
