Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lbs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme leaves)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and dried thyme
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat
Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and sear for 2 more minutes
Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and golden browned
In the same skillet, add Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and minced garlic. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and bubbles
Brush the sauce over the chicken thighs or serve on the side
Notes
For a halal option, ensure all ingredients (especially mustard and seasonings) are certified halal
Chicken can be cooked under the broiler instead of in the oven for a quicker method
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
