Sheet Pan Chicken with Asparagus and Potatoes is the kind of dinner that makes weeknights feel manageable. Everything roasts on one pan; crispy chicken thighs, jammy baby potatoes, and asparagus with just the right amount of char.
A soy-garlic glaze caramelizes as it cooks, coating everything in bold, savory-sweet flavor. It’s fast, it’s flavorful, and there’s only one pan to wash.

Here’s Why This Sheet Pan Chicken Recipe Works
High-heat roast: Renders crispy chicken skin and golden, buttery edges on the potatoes.
Staggered cook time: The asparagus goes in last so it stays crisp-tender, not soggy.
Savory-sweet glaze: Soy, honey, garlic, and ginger bring bold flavor with minimal effort.
Low-mess cleanup: One foil-lined sheet pan. That’s it.
Recipe Tips
Stick with bone-in thighs: The skin crisps up beautifully, and the meat stays juicy.
Cut potatoes evenly: Uniform sizes mean everything cooks through at the same pace.
Don’t overdo the glaze: A light coating caramelizes. Too much leaves the chicken soggy.
Add asparagus late: It needs just enough time to roast without turning limp.

Please please don’t endorse using plastic bags to marinate food! The planet has a huge problem already with plastics. Wash a dish!!!
Great point. Reusable options work well too. Thanks for the comment.
I spray the inside of the zip bag used for marinating with Pam so all the
marinade comes out.
That’s a great idea! Thanks for the tip.
