Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake thighs in a sleeve? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. The thighs can be taken either on the bone or without it. If you want to make the dish lower in calories, remove the skin from the thighs. But then you shouldn’t count on a golden brown and crispy crust. If you like things a little spicier, swap out the Dijon mustard for the spicier Russian mustard to suit your taste. Check in advance whether your prepared chicken spice contains salt.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the chicken under running water and allow excess water to drain. Place the thighs in a deep bowl, add mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Step 3
Add prepared chicken seasoning and finely grated garlic. Mix the chicken with the marinade, cover the bowl with cling film and leave the thighs to marinate for about half an hour at room temperature.

Step 4

Step 4
After this time, transfer the chicken to a roasting bag and tighten the ends tightly on both sides. Some kits have special flagella for this purpose. If there are none, just tie strong knots. Make through cuts in several places in the upper part of the sleeve. This will allow excess steam to escape and the sleeve will not burst. Bake the chicken for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C. Determine the exact time using your oven!

Step 5

Step 5
5-10 minutes before readiness, cut the sleeve. Be careful not to get burned by the steam. And put the chicken under the grill (if you have one) for literally 5 minutes so that the chicken acquires a golden hue. If your oven does not have a Grill function, you can do without it. Just leave the chicken to brown for about 10 more minutes.

Step 6
Chicken thighs in a popular sauce with mayonnaise and mustard turn out juicy and soft inside, with an appetizing garlic scent.
