Maple & Mustard Glazed Chicken Thighs

*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.
