Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
Step 4
Arrange the chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish, skin side up.
Step 5
Pour the maple mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 6
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking for added flavor and moisture.
