Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish, skin side up.
Step 4
Brush the mustard mixture generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.
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
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
