CAST IRON HONEY-SRIRACHA GLAZED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
I combined 3 recipes to create tender juicy chicken with an awesome honey-sriracha glaze. If you've always wanted to cook more stuff with turnips, give this a try. Aside from the delicious sauce, the most important part of this dish is using the high heat of cast iron to brown the chicken and vegetables before finishing in the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Pat chicken dry. Combine 1 tablespoon black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Rub the mixture on the chicken.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add peanut oil to the hot skillet and watch it carefully; when oil smokes, add chicken, skin-side down. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a plate; reserve drippings in the skillet.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add remaining black pepper and salt. Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Return skillet with drippings to medium-high heat. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, turnip, and garlic. Cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chicken on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Coat with about a third of the sauce.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Add wine to the skillet and coat chicken with another third of the sauce. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Coat chicken with remaining sauce before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right cast iron pan: Use a large cast iron skillet that can accommodate all of the chicken and vegetables in a single layer. This will ensure that everything cooks evenly.
- Preheat the pan: Before adding the chicken and vegetables, make sure the pan is nice and hot. This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken and vegetables will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Make sure the vegetables are tender: The vegetables should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. If they are too soft, they will become mushy.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking. The chicken will be juicy and the vegetables will be crisp and flavorful.
