Instructions

Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Marinate the chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours).
Prep the oven and veggies: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the baking sheet.
Add the chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and place it on the baking sheet, skin-side up, among the veggies. Pour a little extra marinade over the top if desired.
Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and golden, and veggies are tender.

Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving if desired. Serve hot

Notes

You can use boneless chicken thighs or breasts, just reduce baking time by about 10 minutes.
Add other veggies like zucchini or snap peas for variety.

For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 3 minutes of baking.
