Preheat oven to 400F. and have ready a large shallow roasting pan (10x15-ish or big enough to hold all the chicken and potatoes.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the hot skillet, skin side down and cook about 4 minutes, or until the skin is golden. Flip chicken and cook the other side another 3 minutes or so. Remove the chicken your roasting pan.
Add the bacon and potatoes to the same skillet. Cook, stirring regularly, over medium-high heat, until potatoes are golden and bacon is cooked, 5-7 minutes. If there is a lot of bacon fat in the pan, spoon off some, leaving a tablespoon or so in the pan. Sprinkle flour over-top and cook, stirring, for 30-45 seconds. Add the cream, honey mustard, chicken broth and thyme to the pan. Stir to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper and cook a minute further. Pour mixture over chicken in roasting pan.
Cover roasting pan with aluminum foil and cook in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil and cook a further 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through - 165F in the thickest part.
Serve garnished with additional thyme sprigs.
