For an extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Feel free to adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to your preference. A touch more adds a delightful tang. This marinade is also wonderful with bone-in pork chops. Simply adjust the baking time as needed. Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a bowl. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor. (30 minutes to 2 hours)
03
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
04
StepArrange the marinated chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish, skin side up. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip the chicken thighs, and continue baking for another 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, and the sauce has thickened into a beautiful glaze. (50 minutes)
06
StepRemove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the luscious sauce over the chicken and serve immediately. Enjoy!

May 23, 2025I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added a squeeze of lemon juice to balance it out. Worked perfectly!
