A Flavorful Chicken Recipe for Any Occasion

These spicy honey mustard chicken thighs are juicy, flavorful, and ideal for grilling or baking. The combination of sweet honey and zesty mustard gives them a delightful taste that balances perfectly with the richness of the chicken.

Ingredients

4 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Preheat the Oven: If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Bake or Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly on the grill. Bake for about 35-40 minutes or grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven or grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
