2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peach preserves, chopped jalapeños, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Season the chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken thighs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Glaze and bake: Brush the chicken thighs generously with the peach jalapeño glaze. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy, basting with additional glaze halfway through.
Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
