Chicken Thighs with Ginger Honey & Mustard
Chicken Thighs with Ginger Honey & Mustard are tasty, juicy and tender! These chicken thighs are amazingly easy to prep, bake and serve! When you combine fresh ginger, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and honey, you get a favorable umami savory taste in these chicken thighs that make you crave for more! Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
These chicken thighs turn out delicious every time!
This chicken dish is effortless; the only prep work is in the cleaning and rinsing of the thighs.
But, once you have done that, the rest is easy!
First, season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then, pour the marinade over the chicken and top with grated fresh ginger.
Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes until perfect!
If you’d like, you can double the marinade recipe for more sauce in order to add some to your steamed rice or noodles.
When you bake chicken thighs with this simple marinade, they turn out flavorful. We often grill chicken thighs on the barbecue, but I prefer to bake them in the oven, simply because it’s faster and easier!
Keep in mind, you don’t want to over bake the chicken or they will turn out dry.
