Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup sweet onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 4 clove garlic. minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup honey plus 1 Tbsp divided
- 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
- Marinade: In a medium bowl, mix together the onion, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, minced garlic, salt, pepper and 1 Tbsp honey.
- Place chicken thighs into a plastic gallon size bag and pour the marinade on top. Seal tightly and shake to coat. Marinate in the fridge for several hours(at least 4 hours) or overnight.
- Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl whisk together the honey, spicy brown mustard and mayonnaise until blended. Set aside.
- Heat a couple of drizzles of olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Sear the chicken on both sides cooking for 1-2 minutes per side. (If grilling, heat the grill to medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium after adding the chicken.)
- After searing liberally brush the glaze onto the chicken each time you turn the pieces. Cook for an additional 4 minutes total on each side or until the juices run clear. Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the chicken thighs.
- Remove to a platter to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve over a bed of wild rice or smashed potatoes.
