A delightful blend of sweet maple syrup and tangy Dijon mustard brings out the best in juicy chicken thighs, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Arrange the chicken thighs in a baking dish and brush them generously with the sauce.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown.
  5. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, with extra sauce if desired.

Notes

For more flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the sauce for a few hours before cooking. Basting during cooking and broiling at the end can enhance the dish’s flavor and texture.
