For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey mustard mixture for a subtle kick. Ensure the chicken thighs are skin-side up to achieve optimal crispiness during baking. If the rice appears dry during baking, add a splash of additional chicken broth to maintain moisture. Allow the bake to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb any remaining liquid. This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
