Ingredients

• 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 3

Place the chicken thighs into a baking dish, ensuring they lie flat and do not overlap.

Step 4

Pour the maple-mustard mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, making sure they are thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the tops are slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Periodically baste the chicken with the pan juices to keep it moist and enhance the glaze.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh rosemary, if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
