Description
Oven-baked chicken thighs are seasoned and roasted to golden perfection, creating juicy, flavorful meat. This dish is easy to prepare and pairs well with various sides.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flake
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425℉ (220℃).
- In a bowl, season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
- Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl using a whisk until blended well.
- Pour the sauce over the seasoned thighs and toss them thoroughly for even coating.
- Place the chicken thighs into a 9×13 inch baking dish along with any leftover sauce; greasing is unnecessary here.
- Bake in the preheated oven for around 35 minutes, checking that the internal temperature reaches 165℉ (74℃) and skin becomes crispy.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a serving plate, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, allowing it to rest for about 10 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
Letting the chicken rest for 10 minutes after baking ensures juicy and flavorful meat.
