Ingredients
- 8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment and spray generously with nonstick spray.
-
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then place them skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Whisk in the maple syrup, soy sauce, vinegar, mustard, garlic, and cornstarch. Bring to a low boil over medium heat and continue whisking until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Set aside ⅓ of the sauce for serving.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip each thigh. Brush the underside with the maple sauce.
-
Flip the chicken again and brush the tops of the thighs generously with the maple sauce.
-
Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes if desired.
-
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with reserved sauce.
