Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet. Toss the sweet potato, broccoli, and onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread on the pan. Pat the chicken thighs dry, rub with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then place skin side up among the vegetables.
  2. Roast for 30 minutes until the chicken skin browns and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Brush the chicken thighs with barbecue sauce and spoon pan juices over the vegetables. Roast 5 more minutes.
  4. Broil on high for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce bubbles and the skin gets charred spots. Rest 5 minutes, then serve.

Notes

Bone-in thighs give you the juiciest result, but boneless thighs work too with a shorter cook time (check the timing table above). If your barbecue sauce is very thick, warm it slightly so it brushes on smoothly without tearing the skin.
