Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth and glossy.
Step 2: Pat dry 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with paper towels. Rub each thigh evenly with 2 tbsp olive oil, then brush the honey mustard glaze all over the skin and under the skin where possible.
Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the skin is caramelized and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, basting once midway with extra glaze to build a sticky coating.
