1

Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2

In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, mustard, honey, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze. Whisk well until smooth.

3

Take the chicken thighs and place them in a baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and rub it in for an even coat.

4

Pour half of the orange mustard glaze over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the other half for later.

5

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove it from the oven.

6

Brush the remaining glaze over the chicken thighs and return them to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius).

Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
