Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions:

  1. Preheat and Season:
    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place chicken thighs in a bowl and generously season with salt and pepper.
  2. Prepare Sauce:
    Whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  3. Coat Chicken:
    Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs, tossing them well to ensure an even coating.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish:
    Transfer the chicken thighs to a 9×13 inch baking dish, including any remaining sauce. No need to grease the dish.
  5. Bake:
    Bake for about 35 minutes or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F, and the skin is crispy.
  6. Rest and Serve:
    Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Boneless Option:
    If using boneless skinless chicken thighs, reduce the baking time to 20-25 minutes as they cook faster.
  • Simplicity Option:
    For a simpler version, skip the honey mustard glaze. Just season with salt and pepper, drizzle with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, and bake as instructed.
