Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Spicy Honey Mustard Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 garlic, cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more, to taste
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken thighs thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
⏱️ 2 min•🌡️ 400°F - 2
In a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron or stainless steel recommended), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet.
⏱️ 1 min - 3
Sear the chicken thighs for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the skin is deeply golden brown and crispy. Do not move the chicken during this time to ensure maximum crispiness. While the chicken sears, prepare the glaze.
⏱️ 10 min - 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes until well combined.
⏱️ 3 min - 5
Once the chicken skin is crispy, flip the thighs over. Pour the prepared honey mustard glaze evenly over the chicken in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
⏱️ 1 min - 6
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F and the glaze has thickened and become syrupy. Baste the chicken once or twice during baking with the glaze from the pan.
⏱️ 20 min•🌡️ 400°F - 7
Remove the skillet from the oven. Let the chicken rest in the skillet for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist. Spoon any extra glaze from the pan over the chicken before serving.
