Ingredients

• 6 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup and set aside.

Step 2

Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels. This helps the marinade stick to the chicken and ensures a crispy skin.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, mayonnaise, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth paste.

Step 4

Rub the marinade generously all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated, including under the skin for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Place the marinated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken thighs to help crisp the skin during baking.

Step 6

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer and the skin is golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.

Step 8

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken for a bright, herby garnish, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your zesty, deviled chicken thighs!
