Ingredients

  • 20 ounces chicken thighs (5 boneless and skinless)
  • 3 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, mined
  • zest of 1 lime
  • juice of 1 lime
  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400. Rinse the chicken and pat dry completely with paper towels. 
  • Season the chicken generously with salt. Then, set chicken aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon Mustard, mayonnaise, garlic, lime zest, lime juice and pepper.  
  • Place the chicken in the pyrex dish. Pour the Dijon Mustard mixture over the chicken, tossing well to coat.
  • Bake chicken uncovered until it is cooked all the way through; breasts will take about 30 minutes, and legs and things will need 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Serve the chicken with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
