Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 cup honey
• 1 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• to taste salt and pepper
• for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
4. In a large oven-proof skillet or baking dish, arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up. Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
5. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy. Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through the cooking time for extra flavor.
6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
