A fuss-free, flavorful, and comforting one-pan meal featuring crispy skin chicken thighs glazed with maple Dijon sauce and roasted veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds / 900g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 2 cups / 300g)
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear without moving for 5-7 minutes until skin is golden brown and crisp. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Remove skillet from heat and pour off excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon.
  6. Whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Brush glaze generously over each chicken thigh.
  7. Arrange the prepared veggies around the chicken in the skillet.
  8. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring veggies halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and veggies are tender with caramelized edges.
  9. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before searing for crispy skin. Stir veggies halfway through roasting for even caramelization. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. For extra crispiness, broil briefly at the end. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or oven to maintain crisp skin.
