Garlic Dijon Chicken

Ingredients:

700 g chicken thigh meat
Salt
Ground black pepper
1 onion, chopped
Fresh parsley, chopped

For the garlic and French mustard DIJON sauce:
3 teaspoons DIJON mustard
2 teaspoons honey
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
a pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
2. Dry the chicken thighs with a disposable towel. Sprinkle and rub with salt and pepper. Set aside for a few minutes while you make the sauce.
3. Prepare the sauce: In a large bowl, combine the DIJON mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic, spices and salt. Stir to combine.
4. Coat the thighs with the sauce: Place a few chicken pieces in the bowl with the sauce and, using tongs, coat each piece with the sauce mixture. Once the thighs are well coated with the sauce, transfer them to a large, lightly oiled cast iron skillet or baking pan. Pour the remaining sauce from the bowl and the onions over the thighs.
5. Place the skillet or baking pan with the chicken in the oven and bake until the chicken thighs are cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.

6. Garnish with fresh parsley when serving. Enjoy!
