Ingredients
  

4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on recommended for extra flavor)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

      Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the honey Dijon marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (longer for more flavor).

        Arrange in the baking dish: Once marinated, transfer the chicken thighs to a baking dish, skin-side up. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.

          Bake the chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.

            Garnish and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve warm, and enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors!
