Man-Pleasing Chicken

Ingredients:
1-2 pounds chicken thighs
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup Maple syrup
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
Fresh rosemary
Salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 450ºF. Then, mix together 1/2 cup of dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar. 

Put the chicken thighs into a foil-lined, oven-proof baking dish.  Salt and pepper the thighs.  Pour the maple mustard mixture over them, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated. 

Put the chicken thighs into the oven, and let them bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF. Baste the tops of the chicken with more sauce half way through.  Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate the chicken, making sure to spoon some extra sauce over the top. Sprinkle over some fresh rosemary.

Serves 4

MY NOTES:  Don't skip the foil lining.  The sauce will burn onto the edges of your pan and become impossible to remove.
