*Maple & Mustard Glazed Chicken Thighs* Serves 4 Chicken thighs baked with a delicious maple mustard glaze. Wonderful flavours! Adapted from The Food You Crave by Ellie Kreiger. 8 bone in chicken thighs, skin and any visible fat removed 85g of grainy French mustard (1/3 cup) 1 clove of garlic, peeled and minced (about 1 tsp) 3/4 tsp dried marjoram 3 TBS pure Maple Syrup Preheat the oven to 190*C/375*F/ gas mark 5. Have ready a large baking dish. Whisk together the mustard, garlic, marjoram and maple syrup. Spread about 1 TBS of the mixture over the top of each chicken thigh, trying to cover as much of the surface as you can. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the baking dish. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and glazed, about 45 - 50 minutes, basting it several times with the mustard mixture. The juices should run clear when the chicken is pierced in the centre. Serve hot. We had ours with a baked potato and green beans. Delicious! Note : In the original recipe Ellie says that the mustard/maple mixture will form a crust. Mine didn't, but more like a glaze. My mixture was quite runny and so I just used it to baste the chicken as it cooked. |
