Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless, skinless chicken thighs | 2 pounds |
| Honey | 1/2 cup |
| Soy sauce | 1/4 cup |
| Dijon mustard | 1/4 cup |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Red pepper flakes (optional) | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Chopped green onions (optional) | For garnish |
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 3–4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust. Pour the honey mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is fully coated. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
Add extra red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to give the dish more heat. Serve with steamed rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad to make it a complete meal.
