Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
Arrange the chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish, skin side up.
Pour the maple mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking for added flavor and moisture.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides.
