Baked Honey Mustard Chicken
Description
Baked Honey Mustard Chicken centers on juicy chicken thighs coated with a dual mustard rub of Dijon and whole grain varieties, blended with honey, chicken stock, and rosemary. The recipe begins by preparing a mustard rub that is massaged onto the chicken to add texture and seasoning. Searing the skin-side first in an oven-proof skillet creates a crisp, golden exterior. After searing, the chicken is roasted in the oven while basted with the honey mustard mixture and fresh rosemary sprigs, enhancing the flavor as it cooks through. The resulting chicken is tender with a caramelized crust, subtly sweet and tangy from the honey and mustards.
The dish can be served immediately, pairing well with simple sides like roasted vegetables or rice, which benefit from the saucy chicken to soak up the flavorful glaze.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey or more, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chicken stock or more, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 rosemary sprigs
For the mustard rub
- 1 tablespoon olive
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- To make the mustard rub, combine olive oil and whole grain mustard in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using your fingers or a brush, work the mustard rub onto both sides of the chicken.
- In a large bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey and chicken stock. Add more chicken stock as needed until desired consistency is reached; set aside.
