Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and trim excess skin.
  3. Cube the russet potatoes into ½ inch pieces and add them to the prepared baking dish around the chicken.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic. Add the fresh herbs and mix well.
  5. Brush the glaze over the chicken and potatoes, saving some for later if desired.
  6. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
