Easy Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs Recipe

Honey mustard ranks high on the list of favorite dipping sauces at our house. In fact, it’s often used in place of ketchup for dipping french fries. It’s the perfect match-up for these chicken thighs. Chicken thighs have so much flavor and the butcher had already done all of the work removing the skin and bone making them even easier and quicker to prepare.

How to Make the BEST Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs: Boneless skinless chicken thighs, onion, rosemary, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and black pepper, garlic, honey, spicy brown mustard and mayonnaise.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Grill pan or outdoor gas grill, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and chopping board, medium bowl, small bowl and whisk.
• Take the Time to Marinade for Optimum Flavor. It’s important to allow the chicken ample time to absorb all of the yummy flavors of the marinade. I prefer overnight but at least 4 hours is best.
• This chicken can be grilled on medium high heat on an outdoor gas grill or on the stovetop using a grill pan.
• You could use whole grain mustard in place of spicy brown mustard, if desired.
• Begin cooking by searing the chicken on a hot grill pan or grill. Baste with the honey mustard sauce while it’s cooking.
• This technique is as simple as giving the chicken thighs a quick sear on a grill pan and generously slathering each piece with the 3-ingredient glaze. The honey mustard glaze lends a beautiful spicy-sweet coating that makes this chicken finger lickin’ good.
• Serving ideas: This chicken is delicious paired with Teriyaki Rice Pilaf or with a side of Mashed Potato Casserole and Homestyle Green Beans and Potatoes but the sky’s the limit with accompaniments. When you catch chicken thighs on sale as I did, it’s the perfect time to give these a whirl.
• Store Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in an air fryer.
