My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Honey-Mustard Magic 🍯
Whisk the honey and whole grain mustard together thoroughly to create a smooth, even glaze that coats the chicken thighs perfectly.
Marinade Technique 💡
For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the honey-mustard mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate deeply.
Even Coating Trick 🧼
Use a silicone basting brush to ensure an even, thin layer of the honey-mustard mixture, preventing burnt spots and achieving consistent caramelization.
Garlic Powder Pro Tip 🧄
Toast the garlic powder in a dry pan for 30 seconds before using to enhance its depth and complexity of flavor before adding to the chicken.
Crispy Surface Hack 🔥
Pat the chicken thighs completely dry before seasoning to ensure a beautifully crisp exterior that locks in moisture and develops a rich golden-brown color.
