Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin, then place them in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush the honey mustard mixture generously over the chicken thighs, making sure to coat both the top and underside of each piece.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
