Baked Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs
Description
This recipe for Baked Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs uses eight medium-sized chicken thighs seasoned with salt and pepper, then marinated in a sauce of honey, Dijon and whole grain mustards, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, and fresh chopped parsley. The chicken is baked covered at 350°F for 30 minutes, allowing gentle cooking and flavor infusion, then uncovered for an additional 15 to 30 minutes to develop color and slightly crisp skin. The sauce creates a sticky, flavorful coating that keeps the meat moist and tender. This preparation suits a family meal or dinner served alongside your choice of sides.
