Steps

1

Prep and Marinate

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). In a large bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss them thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes at room temperature.

2

Bake

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized. You can flip the thighs halfway through to ensure even browning.

3

Serve

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving whole. Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish.

Extra Tips

You can marinate the chicken thighs in advance, even overnight, for an even more intense flavor.

Serve it with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad; it pairs wonderfully with all of them.

If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
