Oven Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken thighs bone-in skin-on
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper or to taste

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp whole grain dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • ΒΌ tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F degrees.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Pour the sauce over the thighs and toss them well.
  • Transfer the chicken thighs to a 9×13 inch baking dish including any remaining sauce. No need to grease the dish.
  • Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for about 35 minutes or until the chicken thighs have an internal temperature of 165 F degrees and skin is crispy.
  • Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, cover with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. Boneless skinless chicken thighs can also be used, but they will bake fast, they should only require 20 to 25 minutes in the oven.
  2. The honey mustard glaze is completely optional. For a simpler chicken thigh recipe, simply season the thighs with salt and pepper, drizzle a couple tbsp of olive oil in the baking dish and bake as instructed.
