Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the Chicken: Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
