This recipe provides simple steps for making juicy, oven-roasted chicken thighs coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry thoroughly with paper towels. Drying the skin helps it crisp up.
  4. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush half of the honey mustard glaze evenly over the chicken thighs.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the chicken.
  8. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier skin, place a wire rack on top of your baking sheet and place the chicken on the rack.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can simmer the leftover glaze in a small saucepan for 2 minutes until slightly reduced, then drizzle it over the cooked chicken.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
