Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves (if using). Whisk until well combined.
Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish, skin-side up, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Pour the maple mustard mixture over the chicken thighs, making sure each piece is well coated. Use a spoon to spread the sauce if necessary.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.
Every 15 minutes, baste the chicken with the sauce from the bottom of the dish to keep it moist and flavorful.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Drizzle the extra sauce from the baking dish over the top for added flavor.
