Mustard Maple chicken



This is a "Pinterest" recipe that was actually successful. Yes, I've had a few duds. This is a recipe that could easily be doubled and served to a large crowd.

1/2 c. dijon mustard
1/4 c. maple syrup
1 tbsp. rice/rice wine vinegar
1.5 lb. pkg of chicken thighs


Preheat your oven to 450ºF. Then, mix together 1/2 cup of dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of rice/rice wine vinegar.


Put a 1.5 pound package of chicken thighs into a foil-lined, oven-proof baking dish.  Then, salt and pepper the thighs. Pour your maple mustard mixture over them, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated.


Put the chicken thighs into the oven, and let them bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF. Baste the tops of the chicken with more sauce half way through. (I forgot to do this and was ok.) Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate the chicken, making sure to spoon some extra sauce over the top. Sprinkle over some fresh rosemary.
