A quick and easy one-pan recipe featuring crispy bone-in chicken thighs roasted with colorful vegetables and a tangy balsamic glaze, perfect for weeknight dinners with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds or 900 grams)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) aged balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound (450 grams) baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup green beans or asparagus (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (fresh or dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, and herbs. Set aside.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Toss baby potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and onion wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large oven-safe skillet or rimmed baking sheet. Spread in an even layer.
  5. Place chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the vegetables.
  6. Brush or drizzle half of the balsamic glaze evenly over the chicken and vegetables, reserving the rest for later.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove pan, baste chicken with remaining glaze, and gently flip vegetables if desired.
  9. Return to oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until chicken skin is deeply browned and crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Optional: Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  11. Rest chicken for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry to ensure crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Baste halfway through roasting to keep flavors fresh and prevent burning. Rest chicken before cutting to keep it juicy. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end. Leftovers reheat best in oven or skillet to maintain crispiness.
