This Oven Baked Chicken Thighs recipe is a force to be reckoned with! Simple and deliciously baked chicken.
Ingredients
• Chicken – I’m using 2 lb of chicken thighs today – bones in, skin on.
• Red pepper flakes – For some added heat.
• Olive oil – I like to use a nice neutral tasting oil when cooking with chicken.
• Salt and pepper – For seasoning and to taste.
• Garlic – 6 fresh cloves, minced. Always remember the golden rule; 1 1/2 teaspoons is equal to 1 fresh clove.
• Mustard – Today I am using both a regular mustard as well as a dijon grainy mustard. You can use any brand you like!
• Honey – The sweet element.
How To Make Oven Baked Chicken Thighs
Step 1. Preheat oven: To 425 F degrees.
Step 2. Prepare chicken: In a bowl or on a cutting board generously season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper; place into a 9×13 baking dish.
Step 3. Prepare sauce: In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, both mustards, honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes until well incorporated. Brush sauce (be generous!) over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Step 4. Bake: Bake for 35 minutes or until the chicken highs have an internal temperature of 165 F degrees and skin is crispy.
Step 5. Serve: Remove from the oven, and serve warm!
