Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 head of garlic, roasted
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. Place them in a baking dish and brush generously with the glaze.
  4. Bake the chicken thighs for 25-30 minutes, basting with extra glaze halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the chicken is baking, prepare the roasted garlic rice. In a saucepan, combine the rice, chicken broth, and the roasted garlic cloves. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  7. Serve the glazed chicken thighs over a bed of roasted garlic rice, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Roasted Garlic: To roast garlic, wrap a whole head in foil and bake alongside the chicken for about 30-40 minutes until soft and caramelized.

Expert Tips for Success

  • Chicken Thighs: Bone-in thighs will offer more flavor; however, boneless thighs are a quicker option.
  • Marinade Time: For deeper flavor, allow the chicken to marinate in the glaze for at least 1 hour or overnight if possible.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain moisture.
