There are many chicken thigh recipes out there but none are like this honey mustard chicken thigh recipe. There is a perfect balance between the tartness of red wine vinegar and the sweetness of honey.
Ingredients
- 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (see notes)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- For the sauce:
- 5 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
- 5 Tbsp honey
- 6 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 6 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves (pressed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Add the mustard, honey, red wine vinegar, olive oil and pressed garlic to a small bowl. Whisk until all the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- Rub chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place into a large bowl. Pour the sauce all of the chicken and toss to ensure even coverage. Bake immediately or refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight and up to 24 hours for best results.
- Transfer the chicken and all of the sauce into a baking dish, placing the chicken pieces skin side up.
- Bake uncovered at 450F for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 185F.
- To make sure the chicken tops are nicely browned and do not dry out, baste the chicken thighs in the juices and marinade about 15-20 minutes into baking. For better browning, turn on the broiler on high for 2-3 minutes just before the chicken is done cooking.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Let rest for 5 minutes and serve with pan juices poured over the chicken (and the side dish if desired).
