How to Add Flavor to Chicken

The herb and spice mixture kicks things off and is all of six ingredients - sage, marjoram, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can mix this up and rub down the chicken thighs the night before.

You want to generously coat the thighs with the spice rub as shown below.

The glaze can also be prepared in advance, and it too, is all of six ingredients that simmer together until thick and syrupy.

Prepping the Sheet Pan

When ready to get things fired up, slather it on the herb-rubbed chicken, scatter the sweet potatoes and onion wedges around, and you are oven ready. Acorn or butternut squash, carrots, baby potatoes, parsnips, and brussel sprouts would be delicious as well.

This is baked in a relatively hot oven so in 30 minutes at most, you'll be digging in to one fine sheet pan dish. Enjoy!

Instructions

Glaze

• Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring just to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer.
• Cook until thick, syrupy and can coat the back of a spoon, 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.*

Chicken

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line an extra-large, rimmed sheet pan with parchment or aluminum foil. In a small bowl, combine sage, marjoram, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub herb mixture all over chicken pieces and place on prepared sheet pan. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.*
• Gently toss sweet potatoes and onion in a large bowl with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter vegetables around the chicken thighs on the sheet pan.
• Slather chicken with the glaze and drizzle some over the vegetables. Roast for 15 minutes, rotate the sheet pan and baste with any leftover glaze.
• Bake until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are fork tender, about 10 more minutes. Temperature of the chicken should be 165°F.
• Transfer to platter and serve.

Notes

*The Glaze can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using. The chicken can also be rubbed down with the spice mixture 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 30-45 minutes before baking.
