Notes
You can use between 1.5-2.5 pounds of chicken thighs for the listed amount of sauce.
You can use regular Dijon mustard if desired.
You can substitute chicken breasts for chicken thighs if desired. Use the same bake time.
It’s okay if chicken registers well about 165 degrees! Chicken thighs retain their moisture very well, even at higher temps.
