Honey-Lemon-Mustard Chicken Thighs

This roasted chicken recipe showcases juicy, flavorful chicken thighs with a lemony sauce that bakes itself in the pan. Roasted chicken thighs are quick and easy, and the ideal weeknight dinner for busy families. I served them with creamy cauliflower risotto and sautéed spinach.

INGREDIENTS

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

1/2 cup olive oil

1 lemon juiced and zested

1 tablespoon grainy or dijon mustard

1 tablespoon of honey

salt and pepper
chopped parsley (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a bowl, toss chicken thighs with olive oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper and marinate 1 hour (or up to a day). 
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roast chicken, skin side down, in an oiled roasting pan, 20 to 25 minutes; flip and roast 10 more minutes. 
3. Stir together grainy mustard and honey and season with salt and pepper. Brush glaze onto chicken and broil 5 minutes.
4. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
