Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts for this recipe?

Yes, chicken thighs are an excellent alternative for Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Honey Mustard Chicken. They are naturally juicier and harder to overcook. If using bone-in thighs, increase the baking time to approximately 35-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the best way to prevent the chicken from drying out?

The key to moist chicken is avoiding overcooking. Use a meat thermometer to check the thickest part of the breast. Additionally, letting the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite of your Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Honey Mustard Chicken is succulent.

Can I prep the honey mustard sauce in advance?

Absolutely! You can mix the honey, mustard, and spices up to a week in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This makes assembling the Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Honey Mustard Chicken even faster on busy weeknights.
