Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Bone-in Chicken Thighs The star of the dish, ensuring juiciness.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Enhances the glaze's richness.
  • 2 tablespoons Chipotle Chili Powder Adds smoky heat.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Locks in moisture.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder For aromatic depth.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Elevates flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly cracked for best flavor.
For the Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Russet Potatoes Fluffy and perfect for mashing.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Adds creaminess; consider non-dairy for lactose-free.
  • 1 cup Smoked Gouda Cheese Rich, smoky flavor.
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness; for vegan, use plant-based.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Dish or Oven-Safe Skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, chipotle chili powder, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly in the mixture and allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Peel and chop russet potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Add milk, unsalted butter, and smoked gouda cheese to the warm potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  5. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up in your prepared oven-safe skillet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving with the creamy smoked gouda mashed potatoes.
