Mustard Chicken Thighs Recipes

SWEET HOT MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Make 2 slashes crosswise into the skin and meat of each chicken thigh with a sharp knife, cutting to the bone. Cuts should be about 1 inch apart. Transfer thighs into a heavy resealable plastic bag.
• Whisk Dijon mustard, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, mustard powder, salt, black pepper, ground chipotle pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until smooth. Whisk garlic into marinade.
• Pour marinade into bag over chicken thighs and massage marinade into chicken, coating each thigh thoroughly and working the marinade into the cuts. Seal bag and refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight for best flavor).
• Move a rack to the center position in oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly oil the foil.
• Scatter onion rings onto prepared baking sheet. Place chicken thighs on top of onion rings. Spray or brush thighs with vegetable oil; sprinkle thighs with additional salt and cayenne pepper if desired.
• Roast chicken in preheated oven until the skin is browned, meat is tender, and the juices run clear, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Transfer chicken and onions onto a serving platter. Pour pan drippings into a saucepan, bring to a boil, and continue boiling, stirring often, until drippings are reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Skim excess fat from pan sauce.
• Spoon reduced pan sauce over each chicken thigh and serve.

MUSTARD-CRUSTED CRISPY CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Trim any fat off of chicken thighs and season with a light coating of adobo and pepper.
• Stir Dijon and melted butter together in a shallow bowl until you have a glossy, buttery mixture. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in another bowl.
• Dip chicken thighs in the Dijon mixture until evenly coated, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture. Transfer thighs to the prepared baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven without flipping until no longer pink in the centers, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Garnish with parsley to serve.

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, honey, soy sauce, tarragon, and ginger in a large bowl. Rinse chicken thighs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Add chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to a baking pan and spoon sauce over the thighs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Spoon sauce over chicken thighs and serve.

MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS WITH ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Whisk 1/2 cup water, the mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lemon juice, peppercorns, half of the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add the chicken and toss. Loosen the skins and rub some of the mustard mixture underneath. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet, skin-side up. Roast on the upper rack until golden and crisp, 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes and 1/2 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; pierce a few times with a knife to vent. Microwave until just tender, 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Combine the remaining garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the rosemary and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add the potatoes and bell pepper; toss. Transfer to a separate rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the lower rack until the vegetables are tender and golden, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest. Move the vegetables to the upper oven rack and continue roasting until browned, 5 more minutes. Serve with the chicken and any pan juices.

MAPLE-MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rinse chicken and pat dry. Combine mustard, garlic, marjoram and maple syrup in a small bowl. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard mixture evenly on top of each chicken thigh, being careful to cover as much of the surface as possible to form a "crust." Arrange chicken in a glass baking dish. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until mustard mixture has formed a crust and is slightly hardened, and juices run clear when the chicken is pierced.

SWEET MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well. Reserve and set aside 1/4 cup sauce mixture.
• Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Brush half of remaining 1/2 cup sauce mixture over one side of chicken. Grill chicken 3 to 4 minutes. Turn chicken over; brush with remaining half of sauce mixture. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until done. Place chicken on a serving platter; drizzle with reserved 1/4 cup sauce mixture.

MUSTARD-BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Season chicken thighs generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Add onions and garlic and saute until onions have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and juice.
• Mix wine, water, mustard, and soup base together in a bowl; pour over other ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, cover, and braise until chicken is tender, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir Dijon, honey, vinegar, rosemary, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
• Place chicken thighs on a large rimmed pan. Brush honey-mustard all over both sides of chicken.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with remaining honey-mustard. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

HONEY & MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SPRING VEG

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, mustard, garlic and the lemon zest and juice. Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs and season.
• Put the chicken, skin-side up, on a large baking tray, then dot the new potatoes in between them. Drizzle the oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with sea salt. Roast in the oven for 35 mins until the chicken skin caramelises and is charred in places.
• Add the spinach and peas to the roasting tray. Return to the oven for 2-3 mins until the spinach has begun to wilt and the peas are hot and covered in the mustardy sauce.

EASY ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss chicken with oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper and marinate 1 hour (or up to a day).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roast chicken, skin-side down, in an oiled roasting pan, 20 to 25 minutes; flip and roast 10 more minutes.
• Stir together mustard and honey and season with salt and pepper. Brush glaze onto chicken and broil 5 minutes.

BAKED BUTTERMILK MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and dried minced onion; set aside.
• Combine the buttermilk, Dijon, honey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and sage.
• Divide mixture into two portions and set one portion aside.
• Coat the thighs in one portion of the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the bread crumbs; discard any used buttermilk or breadcrumbs that are left over.
• Place thighs on a plate so that they are not overlapping and let chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and place in oven for 5 minutes to preheat the sheet; place thighs on the sheet and bake for 24 minutes, turning the pieces over after 12 minutes.
• To serve, microwave the reserved, unused buttermilk mixture on high for about 20-30 seconds or until warmed through, and drizzle as a sauce over the chicken.

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Add the panko and oil to the sheet pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir with a fork until evenly moistened. Shake into an even layer. Toast in the oven, stirring with the fork halfway through, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pick up the parchment and use it to funnel the toasted panko into a shallow bowl or pie plate. Set aside to cool. (Reserve the lined sheet pan.)
• In a medium bowl, stir together the honey and mustard. Pat the chicken dry, then pound with a mallet or heavy skillet into an even thickness (about ⅓-inch thick). Slice lengthwise into 1-inch-thick strips. Cut any long strips in half crosswise. (If using chicken tenders, no need to pound or slice.) Season with salt and pepper, then add to the honey mustard and toss to combine.
• Working with one strip at a time and removing dripping honey mustard, add the chicken to the panko mixture and use your fingers to pack the panko onto all sides of the chicken. (To avoid a big mess, designate one wet hand for touching the chicken and one dry hand for pressing in the panko.) Transfer to the lined sheet pan and repeat.
• Transfer to the oven and bake, removing from the oven to flip halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the panko is browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
