Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 6 bone-in chicken thighs and season evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the chicken thighs skin-side down. Sear for 6-7 minutes until skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook 5 minutes more until browned.
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine 3 tbsp regional Ohio honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves, whisking until smooth.
Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low, pour the honey mustard glaze over the chicken thighs, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, spooning glaze over the chicken until sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken.
Step 5: Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, spooning any remaining glaze from the pan on top.
