Tips for Experienced Cooks

Experiment by adding a splash of white wine or apple cider to the honey mustard sauce for extra depth. For perfectly crispy Brussels sprouts, place them cut-side down on the baking sheet and avoid overcrowding. While baking, baste the chicken with any remaining sauce for a richer glaze.

Step 1: Prepare the chicken

Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them all over with the salt and pepper.

  • 4 pounds chicken thighs (bone-in and skin-on)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Step 2: Make the honey mustard sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and yogurt until well combined.

  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Step 3: Bake the chicken

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and brush them evenly with the honey mustard sauce. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.

Step 4: Prepare the sweet potatoes

While the chicken is baking, toss the sweet potato wedges with the olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Step 5: Roast the Brussels sprouts

On a separate baking sheet, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway, until lightly browned and tender.

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Step 6: Sauté the onions

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced onions in a drizzle of olive oil until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Step 7: Serve

Serve the baked honey mustard chicken with the roasted sweet potato wedges and Brussels sprouts. Garnish with the sautéed onions.
