Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 cup chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice.

Step 4

Lightly grease a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer, skin-side up.

Step 5

Brush the honey mustard mixture generously over each chicken thigh, ensuring the skin is covered for maximum flavor.

Step 6

Pour the chicken broth into the base of the baking dish to help keep the chicken moist as it roasts.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast the chicken for 35-40 minutes, basting with the pan juices once halfway through cooking.

Step 8

To achieve crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.

Step 10

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon some of the pan juices over the top for extra flavor.

Step 11

Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad, and enjoy your Honey Mustard Roasted Chicken!
