Ingredients
  

Chipotle Honey Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Chipotle chili powder Reduce for less heat
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
Smoked Gouda Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup Milk warm
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces Smoked gouda cheese shredded
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet or Roasting Pan
  • Large Pot
  • Potato Masher

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix honey, chipotle chili powder, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Coat the chicken thighs evenly with the marinade and place skin-side up on a baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes until cooked through and caramelized.
  3. Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain well.
  4. Mash potatoes with butter and warm milk. Stir in smoked gouda until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve chicken hot over or alongside the smoked gouda mashed potatoes, spooning pan juices over the top if desired.

Notes

For less spice, reduce chipotle chili powder or substitute part with smoked paprika. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
