Description
Aromatic, caramelized honey mustard chicken thighs that are both comforting and sophisticated, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until smooth. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the glaze.
- Place thighs skin-side up on the rack. Brush generously with the honey-mustard glaze.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste with more glaze halfway through.
- For extra-crispy skin, broil for the final 2-3 minutes, watching closely. Let rest for 5 minutes, then brush with reserved glaze and garnish with parsley before serving.
Notes
Best served over mashed potatoes or quinoa. Works great in sandwiches or wraps with slaw.
