Sweet, tangy, and irresistibly savory—these Maple-Dijon Chicken Thighs are a mouthwatering blend of bold flavors with minimal effort. The rosemary-infused glaze caramelizes beautifully in the oven, making this a rustic yet elegant dish perfect for cozy dinners or entertaining guests.
Ingredients
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp soy sauce or tamari
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 lbs)
3 sprigs fresh rosemary (3-inch)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with foil or parchment for easier cleanup.
Make the glaze: In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up in the baking dish. Tuck rosemary sprigs around the chicken.
Brush glaze generously over the thighs, reserving a bit for basting.
Bake for 35–45 minutes, basting once halfway through, until chicken is golden, glazed, and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F).
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon extra glaze from the pan over top for even more flavor.
