This Sticky Chicken is the definition of easy cooking. One pan, five ingredients, and almost no effort. The chicken and potatoes roast together on a single sheet pan, soaking up all those glossy, sticky juices as they cook. After about 40 minutes, you toss a handful of green beans on top, give it a few more minutes in the oven, and dinner is done.
Tip : I have also made this on the BBQ. I used two aluminum tins sprayed with vegetable spray. I used one for the chicken and the second for the potatoes, lightly drizzled with olive oil. I set the grill to high and roasted both under a closed lid for about 20 minutes. At this point, the chicken and the potatoes were nearly done, I then added the green beans to the potatoes, tossed to combine and roasted for an additional 5 minutes. The chicken was nicely 'charred' and the potatoes were roasted and the beans were firm tender.
