This Maple Dijon Chicken Thighs recipe combines sweet maple syrup and tangy Dijon mustard for an easy and cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 46 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or boneless)
  • 23 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chicken broth for a thinner sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, Dijon, soy sauce, minced garlic, thyme, and olive oil. If the sauce seems thick, stir in a little chicken broth.
  4. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil. Sear skin-side down for 4–5 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Brush or spoon half the glaze over each thigh. Move the skillet to the oven and roast for 15–20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove, brush with remaining glaze, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For crisp skin, pat thighs very dry before searing. Boneless thighs require less cooking time.
