Ingredients
- Chicken Thighs (bone-in, skin-on or boneless, skinless)
- Honey
- Dijon Mustard
- Yellow Mustard
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season all sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the glaze.
- Drizzle the chicken thighs lightly with olive oil.
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush about half of the honey mustard glaze generously over the chicken thighs.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is caramelized.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For crispier skin, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- This recipe works well with boneless, skinless thighs, but you may need to reduce the final cooking time slightly.
- Adjust the mustard-to-honey ratio to match your preferred level of tanginess.
