                I've made a lot of chicken thighs, and have to say this is probably the favorite recipe that I've ever tried. Absolutely delicious, and the flip and then broil really get the thighs cooked perfectly.

                I definitely cook this longer, but this is a delicious weeknight supper. Made at least 10 times.

                I watched the video and it shows using rosemary in the marinade, however the recipe does not call for it. Someone, please tell me if u made this with it w/o rosemary. I am making it this weekend and want to know. Thank you.

                This recipe was super easy and super delicious. I'd never marinated chicken with lemon before, that and the honey & course mustard sauce was a perfect trio.  It's definitely going into rotation.

                Chicken thighs are the least expensive meat that I have found.  This recipe dresses them up and makes them special.  Quick, easy, cheap to make, and my entire family will eat them.

                This is the 2nd time I've made this quick/easy recipe.  The first time I didn't have time to marinate the chicken and it turned out quite tasty.  This time, I'm giving it a couple of hours to marinate.  Bet those flavors are even better!

                I just made this fabulous dish and it was the best chicken I've ever tasted!  I didn't have time to let chicken marinate and it still was incredible!  This will be added to my specialties.

                This was good!  I usually don't like the dark meat but my husband prefers it so I looked up a good recipe for chicken thigh and found this one.  I had to cook it longer because it was still partially frozen and I didn't glaze it because it'd be too sweet for my husband (diabetic).  I have to admit that it was tasty, especially with the honey-mustard sauce simply spooned over the chicken instead of glazing it.  Will make this again!

                I am thinking that maybe the sauce is used for dumplings, mixing to make like a gravy. The recipe does not inform on what the saved sauce is for, this is an idea I had when reading the note from the author. I will try out some things with this and see what might work best with this ingredient. Best wishes to all. Cheers!!!

                I think this is a great recipe.  Easy and fun.  Although I don't know how to use the marinade afterwards.

                This was pretty bland. Maybe I didn't marinate long enough. Easy enough and I liked the crispy crust it came out with. But the meat was just blah. Next time will try leaving it overnight in marinade.

                Elegant enough for a dinner party, easy enough for a family supper. I served it with rice, thickened the drippings, made some asparagus and salads. Easy dinner - and it will be come a favorite at my house.

                I agree with homestar 100%,  Easy, delicious, leveled flavors.  Perfect for a dinner party.  Presents well, juicy, and delicious.  Will make again and again.  Thank you for the recipe.

                I made this last night and received fantastic comments. The broil at the end gives the chicken a wonderful charred flavor and the marinade plus the rub at the end impart different levels of flavor. We especially liked how moist and  juicy it was while also being crisp on the outside. I'll consider this next time I need a fairly simple recipe for a dinner party. Served alongside rice and a fresh salad.

                This is a great recipe! Absolutely delicious and easy to make. I did not add the marinade to the baking dish, I just discarded. You get a lot of delicious juices and the oil/marinade comes out as it cooks.

                Powergal, I saved the marinade and added it to the pan with a little white wine, after removing the chicken, to make a glaze.  It was delicious.

                This recipe is unclear as to whether the marinade is to be included in the pan with the chicken or whether it is discarded once chicken is placed in the pan.  Can someone please clarify?
