Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 chipotle pepper, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, grated
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 to 6 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1 cup smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- Juice of 1/2 lime
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the adobo sauce, chopped chipotle pepper, honey, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, soy sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Place the Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter and milk, gradually incorporating the smoked Gouda cheese and the optional white cheddar and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs, skin-side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast the chicken for 35 to 45 minutes, or until it is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- While the chicken is roasting, prepare the glaze by melting the butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the honey, adobo sauce, and lime juice. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
- To serve, spoon generous portions of the Smoked Gouda Mashed Potatoes onto plates. Top with the roasted Chipotle Honey Chicken Thighs and drizzle the glaze over the chicken and potatoes.
