Philip's Shoyu Chicken

Potatoes, cut into wedges
Carrots, cut into thick discs

Layer tubers onto a sheet pan. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle generously with garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and bake for 15 minutes. 

Meanwhile, continue as follows:

1 medium onion, cut into thin crescent slices 
3 pounds boneless, skinless thighs

Make a sauce of:
Soy sauce (shoyu) or coconut aminos for gluten-free
Honey
Sesame oil
Rice vinegar
Chili bean paste
Powdered ginger
Garlic powder
Black pepper
(If using coconut aminos, add  a little salt. If using soy sauce, add a little sugar.)

Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl and add chicken. Toss to coat well. 
Transfer chicken to sheet pan.
Toss onion in same sauce until drenched then place on chicken in sheet pan. 
Pour sauce over chicken and onion in pan.

At the end of the 15 minutes, add this sheet pan to the same 450 degree oven and continue baking for 30-40 more minutes (uncovered), basting occasionally.

Meanwhile, prepare rice in rice cooker. (Sushi rice is yummy with this!)

Serve chicken and sauce over rice with tubers on the side.
