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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the maple syrup marinade evenly over the chicken thighs.
Step 6
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).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools slightly.
Step 8
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.
