Directions.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment for easy cleanup.Make the hot honey marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, hot sauce, grated garlic, smoked paprika, chili flakes, vinegar, salt, and pepper.Place chicken thighs and sweet potato wedges on the sheet pan. Pour about ⅔ of the marinade over everything and toss to coat (rub it into the chicken, don’t be shy). Arrange chicken skin-side up, sweet potatoes around them in a single layer. Reserve remaining marinade.Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping sweet potatoes halfway through.During the last 5 minutes, brush chicken with the reserved marinade and turn on the broiler if you want extra caramelization.Make the herby ranch: While everything bakes, stir all ranch ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust salt and lemon.Remove sheet pan from oven. Let rest 5 minutes. Scatter arugula directly onto the warm pan (it’ll gently wilt), sprinkle with onions, and nestle avocado slices around the chicken and potatoes.Drizzle ranch over everything or serve on the side. Warm Stonefire Mini Naan and use it to scoop, swipe, and soak up all the sauce.
