Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the glaze. Set aside.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Pour the maple glaze over the chicken thighs in the skillet, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Every 10 minutes, baste the chicken with the glaze from the skillet to enhance the flavor and create a sticky finish.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
