Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin, then place them in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Brush the honey mustard mixture generously over the chicken thighs, making sure to coat both the top and underside of each piece.
Step 5
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Step 6
For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
