Another Easy Chicken Dinner
A sweet and spicy mustard combination sprinkled with an herby seasoning mix and fresh herbs makes an easy, juicy, delicious everyday chicken dinner
Anissa Goodwin, our colleague and staff member at Oil & Vinegar who has graduated culinary school and I collaborated on this recipe. It was her idea, that we played with together – so if you see her in the store – thank her!
BE BRAVE and cook this in an air-fryer preheated at 400F. This creates a nice crispy crust and juicy interior, and is done in less than 20 minutes. Check out the Chef Notes if you don’t have an air fryer or prefer to use an oven.
Enjoy this easy and delicious chicken entrée — happy cooking!
Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
(* indicates my preferred ingredients – see notes for alternatives)
4 -5 boneless chicken thighs
¼ cup honey
½ cup O&V Devils Mustard *
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon O&V Garlic EVOO *
1 teaspoon O&V Rosemary Dipper Seasoning *
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
1 teaspoon minced thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Preheat an air-fryer to 400F. Lightly brush the bottom of the air fryer with oil to prevent the thighs from sticking.
Mix the honey, mustard, garlic, EVOO, dipper seasoning, herbs, salt and pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour mixture over chicken thighs massage well to coat all the pieces evenly. Place in the air-fryer in a single layer (you may have to make two batches based on the size of your air fryer).
Cook for 7-10 mins (depending on the size of the thighs) on each side until brown and crispy or until internal temp is 165 F as tested by a meat thermometer. For an alternative to cooking in an air-fryer see Chef Note.

Chef Note
Alternatively, preheat an oven to 400F. Place the chicken thighs on a lightly oiled baking sheet and cook them in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Then turn on the broiler for an additional 3-4 minutes to give them color and crispness
Notes
* The Garlic EVOO adds a nice additional layer of garlicky flavor and the Rosemary Dipper is a versatile and flavorful seasoning mix. You can use your favorite spice mix and an Unflavored EVOO. The Devil’s Mustard has a fabulous slight spice that adds great flavor and contrast to the honey. If you choose to use a Dijon or Honey mustard, you can reduce the honey by half so as not to make the marinade too sweet.
