Honey Mustard Chicken With Crispy Edges is a delicious oven-baked dinner with juicy chicken coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze. Baking at high heat helps the edges turn golden and crisp while keeping the chicken tender inside.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Season the chicken: Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the chicken on a lined baking sheet.
- Add the coating: Brush the honey mustard mixture generously over the chicken, making sure all sides are well coated.
- Bake: Place the chicken in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven. Bake for 20–25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken, until cooked through and golden around the edges.
- Crisp the edges: For extra crispy edges, switch the oven to broil for the final 1–2 minutes. Watch closely so the honey glaze does not burn.
- Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with roasted potatoes, rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad.
