A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy honey mustard chicken thighs and perfectly roasted vegetables, ideal for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 700 g)
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup (150 g) baby carrots
  • 1 cup (150 g) Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting vegetables)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan (about 18×13 inches) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to make the honey mustard sauce. Set aside.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Using tongs, dip each chicken thigh into the honey mustard sauce, coating well but not drenching. Place the chicken skin-side up on one side of the sheet pan, leaving space between pieces.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss baby carrots, halved Brussels sprouts, sliced red onion, and red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Spread the vegetables evenly on the other side of the sheet pan, avoiding overcrowding.
  7. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes. At the 20-minute mark, flip the vegetables for even caramelization and spoon some pan juices over the chicken if desired.
  8. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and that the skin is golden and crispy, and vegetables are tender with some charred edges.
  9. Optionally, brush any remaining honey mustard sauce on the chicken for a glossy finish before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Flip vegetables halfway through roasting for even caramelization. Let chicken rest briefly before serving to keep it juicy. For a leaner option, use boneless chicken breasts and reduce cooking time by 10 minutes. Leftovers reheat best in the oven to maintain crispiness.
