Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This creates the luscious honey-mustard glaze. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Arrange the chicken thighs on a large rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Generously brush the honey-mustard glaze all over both sides of each chicken thigh, reserving some for basting. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting the chicken thighs with the remaining honey-mustard glaze every 15 minutes to build layers of flavor and a beautiful caramelized crust. (Cook time: 30 minutes)

05

Step
15 mins

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone registers 165°F (74°C), approximately 15 more minutes. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful chicken.

For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as thyme or sage, to customize the flavor profile.
Serve these honey-mustard chicken thighs with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
