Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

4–6 chicken thighs or breasts (skin-on for extra crispiness)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil (for searing)

Honey BBQ Glaze

⅓ cup honey
½ cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Garlic Potatoes

1.5 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and halved
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Garnish (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Garlic Potatoes: Wash and halve the baby potatoes for even roasting. Toss them in olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet with enough space to avoid steaming for crispiness.
Season and Sear the Chicken: Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down until golden brown to lock in juices and create a crispy exterior.
Combine Honey and BBQ Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey and BBQ sauce to create a sticky glaze that will be brushed onto the chicken.
Roast Chicken and Potatoes: Transfer seared chicken to the baking sheet with potatoes. Brush honey BBQ glaze generously over each piece of chicken. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C) and potatoes are tender and golden.
Final Glaze and Garnish: Brush another layer of honey BBQ glaze onto chicken during the last 5 minutes of roasting. After removing from oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.

Notes

Choose chicken thighs for juicier meat and more forgiveness if slightly overcooked.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure potatoes and chicken roast instead of steam, achieving better texture.
Marinate chicken in half the honey BBQ glaze for 30 minutes to deepen flavor.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe and juicy results.
Let chicken rest for 5 minutes after roasting to lock in juices.
