These juicy Baked Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs are irresistibly crisp on the outside and smothered in mouthwatering homemade honey mustard sauce.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs bone-in skin-on chicken thighs ((8 count), trimmed of excess skin and fat)
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper (plus more to garnish)
  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (about 1 Tbsp minced)
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (or 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 ̊F. Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Set chicken thighs in a 9x13 casserole dish and season all over with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    In a small mixing bowl, add Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. Stir until well combined.

  3. 3

    Brush the honey mustard mixture generously over the top and sides of the chicken.

  4. 4

    Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and registers at least 165 ̊F, or preferably 175˚F on a meat thermometer. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown the tops if desired.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and spoon the pan sauce over the chicken to serve.
