Honey Mustard Chicken

Chicken thighs baked in a simple honey mustard sauce until golden brown, with sprigs of rosemary.


This is one of those lazy days, couldn’t be easier, don’t have to think about it and it still turns out great, dishes.

You just mix honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil together and pour it over chicken thighs in a casserole dish and bake until done.

The chicken produces its own gravy with the honey and mustard, and the skin on the top gets crispy brown. We have lots of rosemary in the garden; adding a sprig or two takes the dish up a notch. The chicken is great served with rice to soak up the honey mustard gravy.

If you don't want to eat skin-on chicken, still cook the dish with the skin-on, even if you don't eat it. The skin will protect the meat from drying out.
