Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons Brown mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown mustard, honey, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and olive oil until smooth.
Step 4
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat and drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
Step 6
Brush the mustard mixture generously over both sides of the chicken. Spread any remaining sauce evenly over the top.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a bright finish.
