Ingredients
  

Chicken Thighs
  • 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs skin-on for extra flavor
Marinade
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Method
 

Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken
  1. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Bake the Chicken
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side up in the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve
  1. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with any remaining marinade from the baking dish.
