  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Gather all ingredients and baking equipment.

  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and olive oil. Add rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the honey mustard mixture generously over each chicken thigh, ensuring they are well-coated.
