Instructions

For the Honey Mustard Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

For the Baked Chicken:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season the chicken thighs and drumsticks with salt and black pepper.

Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish, skin-side up.

Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over each piece of chicken.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

During baking, baste the chicken with additional glaze every 15 minutes for extra flavor and moisture.

Garnish your Honey Mustard Glazed Baked Chicken with fresh thyme sprigs if desired.

Serve the chicken hot, with any remaining glaze on the side for dipping.

This honey mustard glazed baked chicken is a mouthwatering combination of sweet and savory flavors. Enjoy the succulent chicken with its crispy skin and delightful glaze!

Meal Prep

Chili Honey Roasted Cashew Clusters

Cashews are nutritionally exceptional among tree nuts—unusually high in monounsaturated oleic acid (the same heart-healthy fat in olive oil), rich in copper and zinc for immune support, and one of the lowest-fat tree nuts by weight. The combination of cashew fat with olive oil and honey in this recipe creates a coating medium that delivers full bioavailability of the chili powder’s fat-soluble capsaicin and carotenoid compounds.

Breakfast

Miso Almond Butter Baked Oat Cups

Almond butter provides one of the most nutrient-dense fat profiles available in a baking ingredient—rich in vitamin E, magnesium, and monounsaturated fats linked to cardiovascular health and reduced inflammation. Combined with oat fiber’s beta-glucan and miso’s probiotic fermentation benefits, this cup delivers genuine nutritional depth alongside its genuinely interesting flavor.

Desserts

Sheet Pan Cherry Pie Bars

Cherries are rich in anthocyanins—powerful antioxidants that give them their deep red color and have been linked to reduced inflammation and improved sleep quality. Cherry pie filling retains much of the fruit’s nutritional character while providing natural sweetness and vibrant flavor. Almond extract, used sparingly here, comes from natural bitter almond compounds and enhances cherry’s inherent flavor profile—the two are classic botanical partners that make each other taste more intensely of themselves.
