INGREDIENTS
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- Salt and pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place chicken thighs in a lined 9"x13" baking dish. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together, mustard, maple syrup, and vinegar.
- With a pastry brush, brush all of the sauce mixture over chicken.
- Bake in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Take the chicken out and brush the sauce over it once more. The sauce will just be starting to crust. Bake again for 15 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is completely cooked through.
- Brush sauce over chicken once more. Serve warm.
NOTES
- Maple Syrup: Use real pure maple syrup for best results.
- Line your pan! This recipe is delicious but clean up can be messy as the sauce thickens and gets sticky as it bakes. Simply line your baking dish with foil or parchment paper to make clean-up a breeze.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven, spooning extra sauce over the top to keep it moist.
- Freezer Directions: Freeze baked chicken and sauce in a zip-top bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and reheat.
