Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 120 ml Maple syrup (pure)
- 60 ml Dijon mustard
- 30 ml Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
- 15 ml Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Mix well to form a marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for 3–4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for another 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the maple syrup marinade evenly over the chicken thighs.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, basting the chicken with the sauce every 10 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools slightly.
Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the caramelized maple sauce from the pan, and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
