Glazing meats is a two-step process. First, the meat is seasoned and essentially cooked through. Second, the meat is basted with a glaze and heated quickly, just before serving. This Herbed Chicken with Honey Mustard has a wonderful balance of flavors and is not too sweet. The use of the two mustards adds depth of flavor as well as an attractive look from the whole grain mustard. I would serve this dish for my finest occasions as I think it rivals duck, Cornish hen, or any other poultry dish... with a lot less effort. I love these chicken thighs.

Ingredients

  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4-5 pounds chicken thighs (12)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons mustard, whole grain
  • 3 tablespoons honey

How To Make herbed chicken thighs with honey mustard glaze

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Measure 5 1/2 Tbsp of the unsalted butter (softened). Reserve the other 1 1/2 Tbsps for later. Add all the seasonings to the 5 1/2 Tbsps butter.
  • Step 2
    Mix well to form a compound butter.
  • Step 3
    Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish in a single layer. Pull back the skin and place a bit of the herbed butter on each piece, using all the butter. Replace skin to cover.
  • Step 4
    Slather the reserved butter over the tops of the chicken thighs.
  • Step 5
    Bake uncovered in a 350-degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Remove from oven. Turn the oven temperature up to 425 degrees.
  • Step 7
    While the oven is increasing in temperature, make a glaze by mixing the Dijon and the whole grain mustard with the honey in a small bowl.
  • Step 8
    Transfer the chicken pieces to a baking tray that is lined with non-stick foil. Brush the glaze on top of the chicken pieces, using all of the glaze.
  • Step 9
    Bake the glazed chicken in the 425-degree oven on the top rack for 15 minutes.
  • Step 10
    Serve with a simple potato and vegetable.
