Preheat your oven to 400°F before starting this Honey Mustard Chicken Bake Recipe. Line a baking dish with foil or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Combine honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl, whisking until smooth and glossy, about 1 minute.

Marinate chicken thighs with the glaze, rubbing it generously under the skin and all over the surface.

Arrange marinated chicken skin-side up in the prepared dish, pouring any leftover glaze over top.

Bake at 400°F for 35–40 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and skin turns golden brown.

Broil on high for 2–3 minutes for extra caramelization, watching closely to prevent burning.

Rest chicken for 5 minutes before serving to lock in juices.
