Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs bone-in and skin-on
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Mix the Dijon mustard and honey in a small bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  4. Coat the chicken thighs with the spice rub.
  5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in a baking dish.
  6. Drizzle the honey mustard glaze over the chicken thighs.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, let the chicken marinate in the spice rub for a few hours before cooking. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven for maximum crispiness.
