Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients

1
  1. 1 Chicken thighspack 900 g ≈ $3.99 200 g
  2. 2 Honey 12 g
  3. 3 Mustard 10 g
  4. 4 Soy sauce 10 ml
  5. 5 Garlic≈ $10.00 per kg 3 g
  6. 6 Brussels sprouts (frozen)pack 400 g ≈ $2.20 150 g
  7. 7 Olive oil 8 ml
  8. 8 Salt 2 g
  9. 9 Ground black pepper to taste

Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

  1. Pat the thighs dry with paper towels. Mix honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic5, coat the thighs with the marinade, and let sit for 15 minutes.

  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss frozen Brussels6 sprouts with oil, salt, and pepper, then spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  3. Place thighs skin-side up on top of the sprouts without overlapping; pour any leftover marinade over them.

  4. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 35–40 minutes, basting with pan juices at the 20-minute mark until the skin is golden.

  5. Check doneness: juices should run clear when pierced near the bone, and internal temp should reach at least 165°F (74°C); roast 5 more minutes if needed.

  6. Let the meat rest 3–5 minutes, then serve hot with the sprouts and pan juices.

Tips

Why it works
Pat the thighs dry to prevent steam from forming under the skin, which would make them steam instead of sear and stay juicy.
Substitutions
Use Dijon mustard instead of regular mustard for a sharper taste. Replace honey with maple syrup if you prefer a less sweet glaze.
Common mistakes
Overcooking makes the thighs dry; check the internal temperature with a thermometer. If it’s above 77°C, they’re done too long.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or within 2 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water for 3–4 minutes until warm.
Serve with
Pair with crusty bread to soak up the honey-mustard sauce, or serve as a hearty weeknight dinner with rice.
