Ingredients
Scale

- Feel free to cover while the chicken is cooking, if desired.
- Remove and place on clean plate; allow to rest for 5-7 minutes.

Notes
- Bone-In Chicken Thighs: You can also use bone-in chicken thighs for this recipe, just increase the cooking time accordingly so that the internal temp reaches 165 degrees.
- Mustard Mayo: For the mustard-mayo dip I simply combine approximately 1/4 cup of the mayo of your choosing with approximately 1-2 tablespoons of yellow mustard; stir to combine.
- Other Options: you can also boil your chicken thighs if you want something even easier!
