This dish is sweet, tangy, and very easy to make, using just a few ingredients. It works well baked, pan-cooked, or in a slow cooker.

- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons mustard
- Place chicken thighs in a baking dish and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Pour the honey-mustard sauce over the chicken and coat well.

🍳 Pan-Cooked Version
- Heat a little oil in a skillet.
- Brown the chicken thighs for 5–6 minutes per side.
