Description
A comforting one-pan dinner featuring sweet and smoky Honey BBQ Chicken paired with crispy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1.5-2 pounds Chicken (breasts or thighs) (Use thighs for juiciness; breasts if halved for even cooking.)
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (Choose a smoky based sauce.)
- 1/4 cup Honey (Regular clover honey is perfect.)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (fresh or garlic powder) (Fresh minced garlic enhances the flavor.)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (Optional, but recommended for added depth.)
- Salt and black pepper (To taste.)
For the Potatoes
- 2 pounds Potatoes (baby golds, red, or Yukon gold) (Cut into bite-sized pieces.)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (For coating the potatoes.)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (Sprinkle during the last 10 minutes of baking.)
Optional Add-ins
- Onion powder (To taste.)
- Chili flakes (For heat.)
- Lemon juice (A squeeze at the end for brightness.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
- In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and smoked paprika.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
Cooking
- Bake the potatoes alone for about 15 minutes.
- Nestle the chicken onto the pan, brush with the honey BBQ glaze, and bake for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
- If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- For added caramelization, broil for an additional 1 to 3 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
Notes
For the best results, rest the chicken for 5 minutes after baking to retain juices. Adjust sweetness and smokiness by varying the honey and BBQ sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
