In a medium mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined to form the glazing marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable freezer bag or airtight container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Seal the bag or container, removing as much air as possible, and massage to distribute the marinade evenly. If cooking immediately, marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. If preparing for OAMC, label the bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). If using frozen chicken, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish, pouring any remaining marinade over the top.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C). Baste the chicken with the glaze halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite sides like rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
