Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs with a hint of sweetness followed with a tangy spicy bite! These chicken thighs are lightly pan fried to lock in the flavor and then baked to perfection!
Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs
It’s time for another Freaky Friday recipe reveal, friends!
This is the eighth or ninth Freaky Friday blog hop that I’ve participated in. Our last blog hop was a cookie exchange during the holidays!
I get so excited when I get an opportunity to take a close look at my blogging buddies recipes. First, it feels like I’m snooping around in a private recipe collection even though it’s highly encouraged to do so. Second, I know I’ll find a recipe that you will absolutely LOVE! My friends are awesome cooks!
This Honey Mustard Chicken recipe is from my friend Michelle who blogs at A Dish of Daily Life!
I’ve shared Michelle’s recipes before. You might remember this Southwestern Black Bean and Corn Salad and this Healthy Red Enchilada Sauce, which are both fabulous! Next on my must make list is this Colorado Green Pork Chili and this Roasted Red Pepper Dip recipe!
Are you always looking for new ways to serve chicken? I am, so when I saw this honey mustard chicken I knew it would be a great dish for our evening meal AND a great lunch for the rest of the week!
This recipe is delicious and so simple to make! I messed up though. You see, Michelle added bacon on top of the chicken and I forgot about it!!
Let me explain in one word —> CATS.
Our two felines are really, really bad inquisitive girls, and will get into any and ALL food if I leave it unattended. Even for just a second! They watch me like hawks and as I turn to pre-heat the oven they’ll snag whatever is on the counter.
I cooked up my bacon like Michelle did with her sticky honey mustard chicken and put it in the refrigerator while I prepared the rest of the meal so my naughty girls wouldn’t steal pieces of bacon.
There the bacon sat though our whole meal (and photos!). It wasn’t until I was licking my fingers from the delicious sauce from the chicken that I remembered the BACON! I forgot the bacon!
I’m certain that you won’t have the same challenge that I did, but just in case…who wants a BLT?

March 3, 2017 at 10:54 amI love cooking with skin on chicken thighs, they are so juicy and have such great flavor. This sauce sounds absolutely amazing, too!

March 5, 2017 at 9:27 pmThe skin does add a great layer keeping the meat from drying out. The sauce is so tasty!

March 5, 2017 at 9:28 pmYes, this is tasty even without the bacon 🙂

March 3, 2017 at 3:36 pmThis recipe is a trifecta of flavors! Chicken, honey and mustard make it almost impossible to go wrong and your beautiful photos and recipe prove that theory quite nicely! Great job with this mouthwatering dish!
Sandra Shaffer
March 5, 2017 at 9:43 pmOh, I agree! A little savory with sweet is a winning combination!

Sandra Shaffer

March 4, 2017 at 3:28 pmHahaha! I have the same problem, there are many hungry (four legged) mouths to feed here at the house and if I forget, they feed themselves! 😀 Seriously though this recipe looks just fantastic, definitely finger-licking good!
Sandra Shaffer
March 5, 2017 at 9:30 pmLOL – it’s a battle and lots of times those furry friends win! The chicken is delicious without the bacon, but next time I won’t get distracted 🙂
Michelle
March 5, 2017 at 3:08 amLOL on the cats, because mine do the same thing. They’re just so curious. My husband makes the school lunches and they literally line up on our bar stools looking for a handout while he’s making the lunches. It’s hilarious. If they have the opportunity to steal, they will. Anyway, I love that you chose this recipe…it’s one of my favorites!
Sandra Shaffer
March 5, 2017 at 9:29 pmYou totally get it…our dog would do the same if she had longer legs – haha! Great recipe, Michelle as all of your recipes are!

March 5, 2017 at 3:14 pmI had to laugh at your cats pilfering the bacon, my kids do that at my house! The chicken looks so flavorful, great job!
Sandra Shaffer
March 5, 2017 at 9:32 pmOh, I always cook up a few extra slices of bacon for taste testing purposes 😉
Jennifer A Stewart
March 5, 2017 at 4:43 pmSo funny that you forgot the bacon! I would never forget the bacon but I would forget the chicken!! These look amazing and I know how flavorful they are. Chicken thighs are so tender!
Sandra Shaffer
March 5, 2017 at 9:39 pmSerious brain fart on my part. HaHa. I think chicken thighs have so much more flavor than some of the other cuts.

March 5, 2017 at 9:05 pmChicken thighs are my favorite and honey mustard is LIFE! So making this!
Sandra Shaffer
March 5, 2017 at 9:40 pmIsn’t is a great combination of flavors. Easy and tasty. Your whole family will love this dish <3

April 9, 2018 at 9:26 pmFinger licking good! This came out great. I decided to leave off the bacon too (feeling lazy), and the chicken still tasted fantastic!
