Ingredients

• 6 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cups soy sauce
• 0.25 cups honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then transfer them to a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

Step 6

Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Do not cook through.

Step 7

Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken in the skillet, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides like rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
