Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).
Drain chicken and reserve red wine marinade. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a roasting pan and sear chicken on all sides. Add vegetables and saute briefly. Add tomato paste. Deglaze pan with some of reserved red wine marinade and bake in preheated oven at 180°C (approximately 350°F) for about 25 minutes. Add a little wine, if necessary, so that there is always liquid in the pan. Mix honey with 2 tablespoons of red wine and thyme, brush chicken pieces with the mixture.
