Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs Recipe
Description
Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs Recipe centers on chicken thighs seasoned simply with salt and pepper, then brushed with a honey mustard mixture blending Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, and rosemary. Baking at a moderate temperature allows the chicken skin to crisp and the glaze to form a flavorful coating. The garlic and rosemary add aromatic notes that complement the sweet and tangy mustard and honey.
The cooking process results in tender, juicy meat beneath a slightly caramelized skin. The final broil step can be used briefly to deepen the color and texture of the glaze on top.
This dish can be served with sides like roasted vegetables, potatoes, or a simple green salad to balance the richness. The pan sauce, spooned over the chicken, intensifies the flavor and moisture of each bite.

- 3 lbs chicken thighs 8 count), trimmed of excess skin and fat, bone-in, skin-on
- 1 tsp salt fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper plus more to garnish, coarsely ground

- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic about 1 Tbsp minced, cloves
