Brown Sugar Dijon Chicken Thighs are baked until tender and juicy, then coated in a sweet, tangy brown sugar–mustard glaze that turns sticky and golden in the oven. The sauce whisks together in one bowl and bakes right on the chicken, making this an easy, low-effort weeknight dinner.
Why You’ll Love This Chicken
These thighs use pantry staples—Dijon mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, and spices—to build big flavor with almost no prep. Baking at 400°F gives you juicy meat and a caramelized glaze in under 30 minutes, and the sauce doubles as an instant pan sauce over potatoes, rice, or veggies. Leftovers freeze and reheat well, so it’s a good meal prep option too.
