How do I know the glazed chicken thighs are cooked through?

Check the thickest part with a thermometer; it should reach 75°C. The juices should run clear, and resting the thighs briefly before serving keeps them juicy.

Can I cook the honey garlic chicken in the oven instead?

Yes, roast the glazed thighs on a lined tray in a hot oven, adding the vegetables partway through. Baste with the leftover glaze so it turns sticky and caramelised.

What other vegetables can I cook with the chicken thighs?

Swap the carrots and mooli for parsnips, red pepper or broccoli florets cut to a similar size. Toss them in oil, salt and pepper so they roast evenly alongside the glazed thighs.
