Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine honey, chipotle chili powder, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Coat the bone-in chicken thighs thoroughly and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight.
  2. Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized chunks and cook in salted water over high heat until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  3. Add milk, unsalted butter, and smoked gouda cheese to the warm potatoes. Mash until creamy, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  4. Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to a baking dish, skin-side up. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature hits 165°F (75°C).
  5. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving alongside the smoky gouda mashed potatoes, drizzling pan juices over the chicken.
