Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they’re well coated.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Baste the chicken twice with the marinade during baking for extra flavor.
  6. When done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, drizzled with any remaining glaze.
  7. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired before serving.

Notes

Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place in an oven set to 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
