Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole grain mustard
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, and chopped rosemary. Set the glaze aside.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and ground black pepper.
Step 4
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the chicken thighs, skin side down, for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crisp. Flip the thighs and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
Step 5
Turn off the heat and pour the maple mustard glaze evenly over the chicken thighs.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the glaze halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. The glaze will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 8
Serve the chicken thighs hot, drizzling any extra glaze from the skillet over the top. Enjoy!
