Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Season with the herbs and spices. In a small bowl, combine the dijon mustard and the honey. Pour it over the chicken along with the oil.
Mix until the chicken is well coated.
Spread the chicken on the sheet pan in a single layer. Use 2 pans if needed to avoid overcrowding. Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Brush remaining juices from the sheet pan onto the chicken before serving.

Notes

Notes:

Storing and reheating:
Brush the remaining sauce/juices onto the chicken from the sheet pan. Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes.

Helpful tips:

Use foil or parchment paper on the sheet pan along with gloves for mixing the chicken for easy clean up.
Boneless skinless chicken thighs will cook up the best but bone-in can be used. The cooking time will need to be increased.
The amount of honey used in the honey mustard chicken thighs marinade is minimal and it’s not overly sweet. You can increase the honey to your preference.
This recipe can be made on the grill- about 5 minutes each side or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees F.
If using another seasoning, you will need about 4 tablespoons for 2 pounds of chicken.
