Ingredients
- 8 bone‑in chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- 2Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels; season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 3In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and lemon juice until smooth.
- 4Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up, leaving a little space between each piece.
- 5Brush the honey‑mustard mixture generously over the chicken, reserving about 1 tablespoon for a finishing glaze.
- 6Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the pieces, brush with the remaining glaze, and continue roasting for another 10‑12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 167°F (165°F) and the skin is caramelized.
- 7While the chicken cooks, stir the pan juices once or twice with a spoon to baste the meat, ensuring an even coating.
- 8Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on a serving platter for 5 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute.
- 9Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of extra red pepper flakes or chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley) over the top for added color and heat.
- 10Serve the spicy honey‑mustard chicken hot with steamed vegetables, rice, or a simple green salad.
