Maple Mustard Chicken

This Maple Mustard Chicken has a tangy and sweet flavor. The maple mustard sauce works really well on chicken thighs, but would also be great on pork. I used boneless, skinless thighs. If you want it to get crispy, then leave the skin on.

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Cook: 20 mins

Ingredients

1½ pounds chicken thighs

½ cups Dijon mustard

¼ cups maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

salt and pepper, to taste

fresh rosemary

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 450º F. Then, mix together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and rice vinegar. 

2Put the chicken in a single layer into an oven-proof casserole and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mustard maple mixture over, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated. 

3Put the chicken into the oven, and let them bake for 20 minutes, until chicken reaches 155° F on a meat thermometer. Baste the tops of the chicken with the sauce half way through.

4Plate the chicken, whisk the sauce that remains in the baking dish, and then spoon the extra sauce over the top. Sprinkle over some fresh rosemary.
