Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional, for extra spice)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, and chili flakes (if using). Set aside.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Pour the honey-glaze mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with the glaze halfway through cooking.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Spoon any remaining glaze from the skillet over the chicken before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
