Honey BBQ Chicken and Potatoes
A delicious one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken glazed with a sweet and smoky honey BBQ sauce, paired with tender roasted baby potatoes.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs or breasts Use thighs for richer flavor and juicier meat, or breasts for leaner protein.
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved You can use fingerlings or small red potatoes cut into similar sizes.
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup honey For less sweetness, reduce to 1/3 cup.
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce Any bottled BBQ sauce works.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Can swap for avocado oil or a neutral oil.
- to taste salt and pepper Adjust according to your BBQ sauce's saltiness.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika For a smokier profile, use smoked paprika (optional).
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes.
- In a large bowl, stir together honey, BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper until smooth.
- Add the chicken and potatoes to the bowl and toss well to coat.
- Spread the chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
Cooking
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Let rest for 3–5 minutes, then serve warm, spooning any pan juices over the chicken and potatoes.
Notes
For extra crisp skin on thighs, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end. For best results, use similar-sized potato pieces.
