One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Brush both sides of chicken thighs generously with honey mustard sauce.
- Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, basting with remaining sauce halfway through, until skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
A little kitchen know-how
