Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish, skin side up.
Brush the mustard mixture generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.
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.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
