Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced)
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, paprika, lemon zest, and the juice of one lemon until well combined.

Step 3

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to help the mustard mixture stick.

Step 4

Brush the mustard mixture generously over the skin side and underside of each chicken thigh.

Step 5

Lightly sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top of the thighs, pressing gently to help them adhere.

Step 6

In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up in a single layer.

Step 7

Pour the chicken stock into the bottom of the skillet or baking dish, avoiding pouring it directly over the chicken to preserve the breadcrumb crust.

Step 8

Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
