Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish or zip-top bag.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in the baking dish if marinading in a zip-top bag.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for added color and flavor.
