Creating amazing Dijon Chicken Thighs is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Mix the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place them in a baking dish.
4. Coat the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
5. Marinate: For added flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer if you have time).
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

With these step-by-step instructions, you’ll find that making Dijon Chicken Thighs is an enjoyable and rewarding process.
