Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2 Mix Dijon mustard, maple syrup and rice wine vinegar together in a bowl.
3 Place chicken thighs in oven proof dish salt and pepper chicken.

I always spray my dish with cooking spray to help in cleaning later or line with foil saves you a lot of clean up.
4 Pour mustard, maple, vinegar mix over the the thighs. Turning the thighs over so they are fully coated.
5 Put in oven and bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 155 degrees. I find that a meat thermometer is essential in cooking because it allows me to check for doneness without cutting into the meat and losing its precious juices.
6 Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7 Plate the chicken , making sure to spoon some sauce over the top. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, or rosemary or other fresh herbs of your choice.
8 I serve with jasmine Thai rice.. and steamed broccoli .. It is every bit as good as it sounds and looks.
9 Going to try this on some pork chops and see how it goes.. bet it will b just as good.
