Delicious Honey Baked Chicken Recipe - Easy and Flavorful

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

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

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, and salt.

    Whisk until well combined.
  3. Marinate the Chicken

    Place chicken thighs in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

    The longer it marinates, the more flavor it will have.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish

    Grease a baking dish with olive oil and arrange the marinated chicken thighs inside.

    Make sure to leave space between the pieces.
  5. Bake the Chicken

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze.

    Check the internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (75°C).
  6. Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    This allows the juices to redistribute.
