A simple recipe 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 olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 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 easier cleanup.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry thoroughly with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
  4. Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up.
  5. Brush about half of the honey mustard glaze evenly over the chicken thighs.
  6. Roast the chicken 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 roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the skin is golden brown and slightly sticky.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier skin, place the chicken on a wire rack set inside the baking sheet before baking.
  • 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 pairs well with roasted asparagus or mashed potatoes.
