Author: Jane and Sonja

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1/3 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. honey
  • 3 tsp. olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 tsp. dried Mexican oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/3 tsp. pepper blend white, black, chili

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375º oven. Remove any visible excess fat from the chicken. You can remove the skin and bone if you wish. Blot the thighs in a paper towel, salt and pepper.
  • Peel the garlic and run it through a press. Place the honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic spice and aromatic herbs in a bowl to make the marinade. Stir the marinade until smooth.
  • Place chicken thighs generously coated with marinade in a ceramic baking dish. Arrange the thighs at a distance so that they barely touch each other.
  • Bake the dish for 40 minutes. You can check if done with a thermometer. The internal temperature of the cooked thigh at the thickest point should be 165ºF.
  • Remove the finished thighs from the oven and cover with foil to allow the meat juices to distribute throughout the piece. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and garnish with the chard.
  • Serve alongside your favorite side dish.
