# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease the surface.
02 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk honey, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried thyme, and lemon zest until well blended.
03 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Add half of the honey lemon marinade to the chicken and rub to coat thoroughly. Reserve remaining marinade.
04 - In a separate bowl, toss baby potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper until evenly coated.
05 - Arrange the prepared vegetables in a single layer on the lined sheet pan. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs among the vegetables, skin side facing up.
06 - Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown, cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and vegetables are tender.
07 - Drizzle reserved honey lemon marinade over the roasted chicken and vegetables. Broil for an additional 2 minutes if increased caramelization is desired. Serve hot, garnished with extra lemon zest or fresh herbs if preferred.
