Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Vegetables:
  • 8-10 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • 1 large red onion cut into 8 wedges
  • 1 piece red bell pepper seeded and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes whole
  • 1 cup kalamata olives pitted
  • 3 tablespoons capers
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 large orange cut into chunks
  • 1 piece lemon halved
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 8 cloves garlic minced

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature will help crisp the chicken skin and roast the vegetables beautifully.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and minced garlic. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken thighs on a large baking sheet. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece evenly. Reserve the other half for the vegetables.
  4. Scatter the red onion wedges, red bell pepper chunks, grape tomatoes, kalamata olives, capers, orange chunks, and lemon halves around the chicken on the baking sheet. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Nestle the fresh rosemary sprigs among the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  7. Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
  • Ensure the oven is preheated to avoid uneven cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow proper roasting.
  • Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
