Chicken has a terrible reputation for drying out in the oven, but with chicken thighs you don’t need to worry. These boneless chicken thighs first get marinated in an easy honey mustard-esque sauce that makes them so juicy and flavorful. Baking the thighs at a high temp means less time spent in the oven with even better results.
