This oven-baked recipe with mustard-honey sauce is a delicious yet straightforward way to prepare oven baked chicken thighs this summer. It takes little time at all to prepare and will fill your kitchen with a delicious aroma that will have your family and friends salivating.
The sauce, which mixes two types of mustard, honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes for a sweet, spicy, and savory flavor that nicely coats the chicken thighs, is the dish’s secret ingredient. Moreover, the sauce caramelizes in the oven, resulting in a finger-licking-good crunchy, sticky exterior.
The nicest part about this dish is that it simply calls for a few basic ingredients and a baking dish. The chicken thighs can be salted and peppered, then brushed with the sauce before being baked for 35 minutes. All done! Simple, clean, and hassle-free.
While the chicken bakes, you may make some quick summer sides to go with it. Classics like baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, and corn on the cob are always a safe bet. Perhaps you can try something lighter and more energizing, such a tomato salad, a spinach sauté, or a pasta dish from the Mediterranean region. Whatever you decide, you’ll have a delicious, well-balanced supper that everyone will enjoy.
