Ingredients
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl or baking dish.
Pour the mustard mixture over the chicken thighs and toss to coat each piece evenly.
Arrange the coated chicken thighs skin-side up in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
