Instructions
Preheat and Mix Glaze
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until you have a smooth uniform glaze.
Coat the Chicken
Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. This step is critical for getting crispy skin. Place them skin-side up in a baking dish and spoon the honey mustard glaze generously over each piece, making sure to coat all sides.
Bake the Chicken
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the skin is deep golden brown and caramelized. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit when measured at the thickest part without touching the bone.
Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat ensuring every bite is moist and flavorful.
