Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Chicken and Sweet Potato is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: While the chicken is marinating, toss the diced sweet potatoes with the remaining marinade in a large bowl.
5. Combine Ingredients: Spread the marinated sweet potatoes in an even layer on a baking sheet. Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the sweet potatoes.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
7. Baste the Chicken: Halfway through cooking, use a basting brush to apply some of the juices from the baking sheet onto the chicken for extra flavor.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
10. Serve: Plate the chicken alongside the sweet potatoes, ensuring to drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
