Dijon Chicken

dijon chickenIngredients (serves 4)

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or breasts if preferred)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1.5 tbsp honey (I like to use hot honey here)
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp butter (or a small amount of coconut oil if needed)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • 3–4 shallots, halved (I use onions as I don’t usually have shallots around)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
  2. In a bowl, mix:
    • Dijon
    • honey
    • garlic
    • vinegar
    • salt
  3. Pat chicken dry…this matters for browning.
  4. Place chicken + shallots in a baking dish
    Lightly coat with melted butter
  5. Spoon glaze over chicken (don’t drown it…just coat)
  6. Bake 35–45 minutes until golden and cooked through
