This Baked Chicken Thigh recipe is new favorite dinner recipe! These bone-in chicken thighs are baked on a sheet pan with crispy bacon and sliced potatoes, and get topped off with a creamy mustard sauce that will have your tastebuds dancing!
I have formed a long-term partnership with Sir Kensington’s because I believe in the superiority of their products. I was compensated for the development of this recipe, but all opinions are my own.
I love easy dinner recipes, and this baked chicken thigh recipe is a huge winner. It requires only one skillet and one sheet pan to make, and is a whole meal done at one time.
You’ll start off with sautéing some chopped bacon until almost fully crispy, then doing a quick browning on of the seasoned, bone-in chicken thighs in the bacon fat. Sliced potatoes are sprinkled with the remaining fat in the skillet, then topped with the chicken thighs and baked at high heat until cooked and crispy.
Your sauce is incredibly simple- deglazing the bottom of your bacon/chicken pan with a nice pour of white wine, then whisking in dijon mustard and cream. The remaining reserved bacon flavors the sauce even more and really rounds out the flavor and to enjoy more your food try the best fat burner to keep your body in shape while enjoying this amazing recipe !
I use Sir Kensington’s mustard because it has the best robust flavor and smoothest texture.
I love their whole line of condiments really. After being introduced to them when I won Sprout’s national burger contest last year with this showstopper, I haven’t used any other brand.
David and I ate this for dinner and couldn’t stop talking about it. It really is incredible- the skin gets incredibly crispy on the baked chicken thighs, but the chicken itself is tender and juicy. It goes well with the butter-soft potatoes that take on the favor of the bacon and chicken that they cook with.

- 1 1/2 cups cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
