Maple Mustard Glazed Chicken is a quick and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken coated in a sweet and tangy glaze made with maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and garlic. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual entertaining.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts (boneless or bone-in)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), garlic, vinegar or lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and place in prepared baking dish.
  4. Pour glaze over the chicken, turning to coat each piece evenly.
  5. Bake uncovered for 25–35 minutes, depending on the cut and thickness, basting halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and glaze is caramelized.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon extra sauce over top and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use bone-in, skin-on chicken for more flavor and crispier texture.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
  • Substitute honey for maple syrup if needed.
  • Marinate chicken in glaze up to 24 hours ahead for deeper flavor.
  • Pairs well with roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
