    Whisk the honey, both mustards, the olive oil, the crushed garlic and the lemon juice together in a bowl with the salt and pepper until it is smooth and pourable.

  2. 2

    Pat the chicken thighs dry, put them in a roasting pan in a single layer, and turn them through the glaze until every piece is coated. Finish with all the thighs skin side up.

  3. 3

    Heat the oven to 400°F and roast the thighs until the skin is deep brown and lacquered and the glaze around them has thickened and gone sticky.
