Easy Bourbon Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1/3 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 4 cloves roasted garlic
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, whisk together bourbon, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
3. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Flip chicken thighs and pour the bourbon glaze over them. Transfer skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and glaze is caramelized.
5. Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
6. Drain potatoes and mash with roasted garlic, butter, and milk until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Serve the bourbon honey glazed chicken thighs atop a bed of roasted garlic mashed potatoes, spooning extra glaze from the skillet over the top.
