Ingredients
  • 4-5 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 cup honey
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
Directions
  1. Place the chicken in a large bowl or ziplock bag.
  2. In a separate medium bowl whisk together the honey, soy sauce, orange juice, Dijon mustard, melted butter, minced shallot, salt, and pepper.
  3. Set aside about ½ cup of the marinade in a small bowl or measuring cup. Cover and refrigerate.
  4. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least half an hour (up to 24 hours). Rotate the chicken at least once while it is marinating.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  6. Place the marinated chicken on the baking sheet, skin side up, with the pieces not touching. Discard the rest of the marinade in the bowl.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted into a thigh reaches 165 F.
  8. While chicken is baking pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  9. Brush the baked chicken with the glaze. Garnish with scallions if desired, then plate and serve.
