Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs
These foolproof Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs are sweet and savory with a touch of tang! After marinating in the simple honey mustard sauce, the thighs are baked and broiled, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth bites with crispy, charred edges.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lb. chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 1/3 cup dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1 garlic clove minced
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a large ziploc bag, or in a shallow dish.
- Stir the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, cayenne and garlic together in a bowl. Then, pour HALF of the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and shake to combine. Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours to allow the chicken to marinate. Place the remaining marinade in the refrigerator as well.
- Preheat oven to 425°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, then place a wire rack overtop. Lightly spray the rack with nonstick spray, then place the chicken on top. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes. Remove it, then brush the remaining marinade overtop of the chicken, then place it back in the oven and broil it for 2-4 minutes. Enjoy!
