Cooking Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse and pat dry the chicken to ensure the marinade sticks well. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
In a bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and olive oil until well combined. This will be your marinade.
Generously coat the chicken with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-covered. Place the marinated chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Once marinated, remove the chicken from the fridge and discard any excess marinade. Brush the remaining honey Dijon mixture onto both sides of the chicken.
Place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
For best results, consider adjusting the level of Dijon mustard to suit your taste, especially if cooking for kids.
You can also experiment with different herbs, spices, or even a splash of citrus to create unique flavor profiles.
If you notice the chicken browning too quickly, cover it with foil to avoid overcooking.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick meal later.
Enjoy your delicious Baked Honey Dijon Chicken!
