Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Marinade
  • 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on) Choose thighs with skin for crispiness and bones for extra flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Adds natural sweetness and helps create the golden glaze.
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard Offers a tangy kick that balances the honey.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Keeps the chicken moist.
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced) Infuses a warm, savory depth.
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar Brightens the marinade.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Adds gentle heat.

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Large bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven
  • meat thermometer

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and pale yellow.
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then place them in a large bowl. Pour marinade over, tossing well to coat each thigh. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
  3. Heat oven to 400°F (200°C) and position the rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  4. Place marinated thighs skin-side up on the prepared sheet, ensuring even spacing.
  5. Bake thighs for 25–30 minutes, until juices run clear at the joint and skin is caramelized and crispy. Internal temp should reach 165°F.
  6. Let chicken rest 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Spoon any pan drippings over the thighs.
