Yield: 8 Servings

Ingredients:
8 bone-in chicken thighs
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Place the chicken in a baking dish and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the honey, mustard, garlic, oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Brush or spoon the honey mustard mixture liberally on top of the chicken.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and registers 175°F (80°C).
  • Turn on the top oven broiler in the last 2 to 3 minutes to crisp up the skin.

If you don’t have fresh herbs you can use 1 teaspoon total of dried herbs. An Italian herb blend works great as well.
