Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs bone-in skin-on
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons whole grain dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉.
- Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Pour the sauce over the thighs and toss them well.
- Transfer the chicken thighs to a 9x13 inch baking dish including any remaining sauce. No need to grease the dish.
- Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for about 35 minutes or until the chicken thighs have an internal temperature of 165 F degrees and skin is crispy.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, cover with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs can also be used, but they will bake fast, they should only require 20 to 25 minutes in the oven.
- The honey mustard glaze is completely optional. For a simpler chicken thigh recipe, simply season the thighs with salt and pepper, drizzle a couple tbsp of olive oil in the baking dish and bake as instructed.
- When stored or wrapped well, this oven baked chicken is going to last in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend freezing it to extend its shelf life. When stored in a sealed airtight container, the chicken will last in the freezer for 4 - 6 months.
