Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken Thighs

Honey mustard ranks high on the list of favorite dipping sauces at our house. In fact, my youngest son loves honey mustard so much he dips french fries in it instead of ketchup. It's the perfect match-up for these chicken thighs that I picked up on sale this past week as a featured sale item at my local market. 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 to prepare.

Take the Time to Marinade for Optimum Flavor

After an overnight marinade with fresh lemon juice and rosemary from my herb garden the pieces plumped-up nicely. It's 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. I love serving this over rice pilaf or with a side of potato casserole and green beans but, the sky is the limit with accompaniments. When you catch chicken thighs on sale as I did, it's the perfect time to give these a whirl.
