Prepare the chicken marinade by adding the apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, soy sauce, and honey to a bowl and whisk to combine. Drizzle the olive oil into the bowl while whisking until well combined. Add the garlic, white onion, and chives to the marinade and mix.

Step 4

Set around 1/4 cup of marinade aside for glazing later. Then, place the chicken in a gallon sized bag or a deep dish and pour the marinade over the chicken thighs. Flip the chicken thighs over in the marinade so the chicken thighs are coated in the marinade.

Tips and Warnings

  • We prefer to use boneless chicken thighs in this marinade recipe, but you can use bone-in thighs if you’d like.
  • We kept any onion that stuck to the chicken thighs on the thigh and it added a ton of flavor and texture.
  • Baking instructions: transfer the chicken thighs and the marinade into an oven-safe dish. Bake at 400ºF for around 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160ºF – 165ºF.
  • Grilling instructions: preheat the grill to 400ºF and carefully rub your grill grates with oil. Grill chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes over direct heat on each side or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160ºF. About 1 minute before you take the thighs off the grill, brush them with the marinade you set aside. This will add so much flavor.
