Description
Succulent Chicken Thighs glazed with a sweet and tangy honey Dijon mixture, baked to tender perfection.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Potatoes (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix together honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
- Coat chicken thighs thoroughly with the glaze.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs for about 5 minutes on each side.
- Transfer seared chicken thighs to an oven-safe dish and pour any leftover glaze over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Serve hot, preferably with roasted potatoes.
Notes
For added flavor, use skin-on thighs or try maple syrup instead of honey. Fresh herbs can enhance the dish brilliantly.
