Sticky, sweet, and incredibly flavorful, these Maple Glazed Chicken Thighs are a must-try for any home cook.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to make the glaze.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5–7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Pour the glaze over the chicken in the skillet, spooning it over the thighs to coat evenly.
  5. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and roast for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 175°F (80°C).
  6. Optional: For crispier skin, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
