Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 lbs chicken wings or drumettes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water
For the Potatoes
  • 1½ lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
For Serving
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
  2. Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly in the baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, season the chicken wings or drumettes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Arrange the seasoned chicken over the potatoes.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, melted butter, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Pour about two-thirds of this sauce over the chicken and potatoes.
Cooking
  1. Bake everything in the oven for 40–45 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through cooking.
  2. While it bakes, mix the cornstarch with water and stir it into the remaining sauce. Simmer this mixture for 1–2 minutes until it thickens.
  3. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the potatoes, and drizzle with the thickened honey garlic sauce.
  4. Return the dish to the oven for 5–8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, broil it for a few minutes at the end of cooking. Feel free to add other veggies, like carrots or Brussels sprouts, to the baking dish for a complete meal. Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more or less honey to match your taste.
