Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut in half
- 3 tablespoons stone ground mustard ( or any type you have on hand)
- 3 tablespoons honey (local if possible)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional if you like a hot sweet taste)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- In a small bowl, combine mustard, honey, olive oil, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper if using.
- Place chicken in a parchment lined or lightly oiled baking sheet. Spread sauce on both sides of the chicken. Make sure it is evenly coated.
- Bake chicken uncovered on the top shelf of your oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is brown, and the inside is no longer pink. You can use a meat thermometer to see if the internal temperature of the meat is 165F.
