Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice.
Lightly grease a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer, skin-side up.
Brush the honey mustard mixture generously over each chicken thigh, ensuring the skin is covered for maximum flavor.
Pour the chicken broth into the base of the baking dish to help keep the chicken moist as it roasts.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast the chicken for 35-40 minutes, basting with the pan juices once halfway through cooking.
To achieve crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon some of the pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad, and enjoy your Honey Mustard Roasted Chicken!
