  5. Add potatoes and carrots and stir to coat in the sauce.
  6. Remove from heat and add the chicken thighs back in skin side up, nestling them in the vegetables.
  7. Place in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F and the vegetables are tender.
  8. Garnish with parsley, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and serve.
