Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme until well combined.
- Step 3: Place the chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish and pour the honey mustard mixture over them, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Step 4: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Step 5: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the baking dish over the chicken for added flavor. Enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover honey mustard chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When reheating, place the chicken in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes to maintain its crispy skin and juicy texture.
- Serve your delicious honey mustard chicken alongside a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal that complements the dish's flavors perfectly.
- For extra depth of flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the honey mustard mixture for at least an hour or overnight before baking for a more intense taste experience.
