By Lucinda Scala Quinn Updated on May 8, 2023 Print Rate It Share Share Tweet Pin Email These easy roasted chicken thighs are a dish you’ll make on the regular. Not only are they easy, they’re really delicious and pair well with all kinds of sides for an any-night dinner. (We especially like them with Roasted Potatoes, but they're also great with rice, salad, you name it.) We use skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs, which offer big flavor on a budget. The chicken is marinated in lemon juice and olive oil—the simplest of marinades—for at least an hour and as long as overnight. It's roasted in the oven, then brushed with a honey-mustard glaze and broiled. The result is golden chicken with crispy skin and succulent meat. 30 Easy Weeknight Chicken Recipes Your Family Will Love Diana Chistruga Ingredients 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil Juice of 1 lemon Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon grainy mustard 1 to 2 tablespoons honey Directions Diana Chistruga Marinate chicken thighs: In a bowl, toss chicken with oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper and marinate 1 hour (or up to a day).
