Easy Honey Roasted Chicken Thighs are a favorite of ours. Definitely a delicious and easy way to have dinner served in no time! The skin is irresistible!
This Easy Honey Roasted Chicken Thighs recipe takes very little effort to throw together and is so darn good! This is a perfect busy weeknight meal. It takes very few ingredients and very little time. It only takes about 40 minutes from start to finish. The finished product is so good it will seem like you spent all day in the kitchen!
I use bone in, skin on chicken thighs for this recipe. The bone helps the chicken retain all of it’s moisture. Is there anything worse than dry, flavorless chicken?
The skin is my favorite part of this dish. The mixture of flavors you brush on the chicken makes the skin irresistibly crispy and flavorful! I also turn the broiler on for the last few minutes to make sure the skin is crispy and perfect.
I use honey and olive oil as the base of the mixture. We are big fans of sweet and a little heat together. I season the honey and oil with salt and pepper.
To kick up the heat factor I add cayenne. This is totally up to you to customize to your family’s heat preferences. You can add a little or a lot! We have made it with no cayenne and it is still delicious!
Another thing I love about this chicken is that it goes with just about any side dish you can think of! Perfect for a busy weeknight!
