Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mustard, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until you get a smooth and well-mixed marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin become crispy when cooked. Place the chicken thighs in the mixing bowl with the marinade. Ensure each thigh is well-coated by turning them a few times in the marinade.
Sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the marinated chicken thighs. Gently rub it into the chicken to evenly distribute the aroma and flavor.
Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in a baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken to ensure maximum flavor.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it remains moist and flavorful.
Serve the honey mustard rosemary chicken thighs warm. They pair wonderfully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Tip 1: Marinate the chicken thighs for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully permeate the meat for an even tastier result.
- Tip 2: If you prefer crispy skin, sear the chicken thighs in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side before baking.
- Tip 3: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- Tip 4: Serve the chicken thighs with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complement the rich flavors of the dish.
