Ingredients

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each piece is well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin side down and cook for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Flip the thighs over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
