• 3 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the Chicken and Vegetables

• 8 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 lb baby potatoes
• 1 1/2 cups fresh green beans, halved

How to Make Honey Garlic Chicken Sheet Pan

1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, stir together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Pour half of the sauce into a large freezer bag with the chicken thighs and marinate for 30–60 minutes, or overnight if desired. Refrigerate the remaining sauce.
2. Preheat and prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the sheet pan.
3. Season the chicken: Mix salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season the chicken thighs, reserving about one-third of the seasoning for the vegetables.
4. Prepare the vegetables: Add potatoes and green beans to a bowl, toss with oil and the remaining seasoning, then spread them on the other side of the sheet pan.
5. Bake: Roast for 30 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften and the chicken is nearly cooked through.
6. Thicken and finish: Meanwhile, pour the reserved sauce into a small saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch. Simmer over medium heat until thickened. Brush the chicken with the thickened sauce and bake for 5 more minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
