Baked chicken thighs with Dijon-lime sauce is a delicious and easy recipe that blends the tanginess of Dijon mustard and lime with the savory richness of chicken thighs. Perfect for a cozy dinner or a family gathering, this dish requires minimal preparation and delivers maximum flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of mustard, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise salad dressing, the juice of 1 lime, 1 finely minced garlic clove, 3/4 teaspoon white pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried parsley. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Season the 12 chicken thighs with a dash of salt.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the mustard-lime marinade over the chicken thighs. Use your hands or a spoon to ensure each thigh is well coated with the marinade.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes. For deeper flavor, you can marinate them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan, skin-side up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the baked chicken thighs hot, garnished with additional lime wedges or fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before seasoning.
- Marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes prior to baking for enhanced flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Garnish with fresh lime slices and extra parsley for a decorative touch before serving.
In just a few simple steps, you've crafted a flavorful and satisfying meal with these baked chicken thighs. The Dijon-lime sauce not only keeps the chicken moist but also infuses each bite with a delightful zest. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
