Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Place the chicken thighs into a baking dish, ensuring they lie flat and do not overlap.
Pour the maple-mustard mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, making sure they are thoroughly coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the tops are slightly caramelized.
Periodically baste the chicken with the pan juices to keep it moist and enhance the glaze.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh rosemary, if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
