Ingredients :
– 4 chicken thighs (or 4 chicken breasts)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
– 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
Instructions :
1. Prepare the Chicken
– Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
– Season the chicken thighs or breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the Chicken
– In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
– Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Glaze
– In a bowl, mix the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, chopped garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
4. Bake the Chicken
– Return the chicken to the skillet, skin side up, or transfer it to a baking dish if your skillet is not ovenproof.
– Generously brush the chicken with the honey mustard glaze.
5. Final Cooking
– Bake the chicken in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F) and the glaze is caramelized.
6. Serve
– Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
– Serve the chicken with roasted vegetables, rice, or a green salad.
