Chicken Thighs With Garlic Mustard Aioli Sauce Recipes

BAKED CHICKEN THIGH WITH GARLIC LEMON AIOLI

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 400F.
• In a microwavable bowl, add butter and microwave until melted (about 30 seconds for ours).
• Prepare a silicone baking mat or line an oven tray with aluminum foil and spray with cooking oil.
• Pat dry chicken thighs and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer chicken onto an oven tray and brush melted butter onto both sides of the chicken.
• Bake chicken in the center of the oven for 10 minutes and then flip and cook for another 10-12 minutes or until cooked (internal temp should be 165F).
• In the meantime, grate garlic with a grater or garlic press and add into mixing bowl.
• Combine Kewpie mayo, 1 tsp lemon juice into mixing bowl and mix well. Transfer to a small dipping bowl.
• Optional - if you would like to char the chicken a little, move the tray rack about 6 inches away from the heating element and switch oven to broil. Cook for 2-4 minutes or to desired char consistency.
• Transfer chicken to serving plate and serve with dipping sauce.

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board, skin side up, and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Turn them over and sprinkle them with one more teaspoon of salt.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan in one layer, skin side down. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes without moving, until the skin is golden brown. (If the skin gets too dark, turn the heat to medium low.) Turn the chicken pieces with tongs, add the onions to the pan, including under the chicken, and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally, until the thighs are cooked to 155 to 160 degrees and the onions are browned. Transfer the chicken (not the onions) to a plate and allow to rest uncovered while you make the sauce. If the onions aren't browned, cook them for another minute.
• Add the wine, creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet and stir over medium heat for one minute. Return the chicken, skin side up, and the juices to the skillet, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.
