Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine honey, chipotle chili powder, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are coated. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Peel and cut russet potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and steam off excess moisture.
  3. Add milk, unsalted butter, and smoked Gouda to the drained potatoes. Mash until creamy, adjusting milk for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer marinated chicken to a greased baking dish, skin-side up. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Let chicken rest for a few minutes after baking. Serve with creamy gouda mashed potatoes and drizzle pan juices over the chicken.
