Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 3/4 tsp black pepper until combined.
Step 2: Pat dry 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with paper towels and place skin side up on a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 3: Brush the honey-Dijon mixture generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring even coverage.
Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
