Útmutatók

Preheat the oven to 450º F.

IMPORTANT NOTE about what baking dish to use. Keep in mind that because the sauce has sugar and is cooked at a high temperature, it will tarnish your cooking pan. To prevent that, line your baking pan with foil or use a disposable aluminum baking pan.

Mix together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup and rice vinegar.

Salt and pepper the thighs, then place them in the baking dish - I used 2.5 quart oval casserole dish ( 13 inches * 9 inches *4 inches deep).

Pour the maple-mustard mixture over the thighs, turning them a couple times to fully coat them.

Place the baking dish with chicken thighs, uncovered, into the oven, and bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF. Baste the chicken thighs with the sauce 2 or 3 times during the last 20 minutes of baking.

Serve the chicken thighs immediately, on plates, topped with the remaining sauce from the baking dish.
