One Pan Roasted Honey Orange Chicken and Potatoes
Description
This recipe combines baby potatoes tossed in olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper with chicken thighs brushed generously with a mixture of warmed honey and chili garlic sauce. The chicken and potatoes roast together on a baking sheet, complemented by slices of fresh orange placed on top, which impart brightness and subtle citrus aroma during roasting.
Oven roasting at 425°F develops a golden, crispy skin on the chicken thighs and caramelizes the potatoes, particularly as they absorb some of the honey glaze. The chili garlic sauce adds a mild heat that contrasts with the sweetness of the honey and the freshness of the orange slices. The seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs rounds out the flavor.
The dish is served warm, garnished optionally with fresh parsley and pomegranate seeds for color and added fresh flavor. It creates an inviting one-pan meal combining sweet, spicy, and savory elements with a variety of textures from crispy skin to tender potatoes.
If less roasted potatoes are preferred, add them halfway through the chicken cooking time. Drumsticks can be substituted with similar cook time, while skinless, boneless thighs require a shorter roasting time.
Ingredients
For Potatoes
- 1 ½ pounds baby potato cleaned
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
For Chicken Thighs
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
- 6 chicken thighs with skin and bones
- 1 medium orange cut into 1/4" slices
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
Optional
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
- ¼ cup parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl toss together the baby potatoes with the olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Microwave the honey for about 20 seconds just so that it warms up a bit, then whisk it together with the garlic chili sauce in a small bowl. Place the chicken thighs skin side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each thigh generously with the honey mixture, then season with a bit of salt and pepper. Flip the thighs over so that the skin side is up and repeat brushing with the honey mixture and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Scatter the potatoes around the chicken thighs then place the orange slices overtop.
- Bake for about an hour until the skin is golden brown and the meat easily detaches from the bone. The potatoes should also be nicely baked and golden brown.
- Garnish with pomegranate seeds and parsley if preferred. Serve while warm.
Notes
- If you prefer less roasted potatoes, add them after the chicken has roasted for 30 minutes.
- Drumsticks can replace chicken thighs without changing cooking time or ingredients.
- Skinless, boneless chicken thighs require approximately 30 minutes of roasting time.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and pomegranate seeds for added color and flavor.
