Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
Place the chicken thighs in a bowl or ziplock bag and pour half of the sauce over them. Let marinate for at least 15–30 minutes if time allows.
Spread the chopped vegetables on the prepared baking dish and drizzle with a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
If desired, thicken the remaining sauce by heating it in a saucepan with cornstarch mixed in a bit of water until slightly thickened.
Brush the thickened sauce over the cooked chicken before serving.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

You can swap in other vegetables like broccoli, green beans, or potatoes based on preference.
Boneless chicken thighs or breasts can be used, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
For a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
