Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk until well blended.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and place them in a large baking dish.
Pour the mustard-honey-curry mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Use tongs or your hands to spread the mixture evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and place it in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and baste the chicken with the sauce pooled at the bottom of the dish. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired and serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
