Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the seasoned green beans on the other side.
Brush or pour half of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken thighs.
Roast for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip the chicken thighs and brush them with the remaining honey garlic sauce. Toss the green beans to ensure even cooking.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the green beans are tender-crisp.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired, before serving.

Notes

For crispier green beans, you can roast them for 5-10 minutes before adding the chicken to the pan.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
If you prefer thicker sauce, you can reduce the honey garlic sauce mixture slightly on the stovetop before pouring it over the chicken.
