Maple-Ginger Chicken Thighs Recipe: Easy & Delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
• 1 cup pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
• 1 tablespoon ginger powder
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic oil, ginger powder, sesame seeds, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
3. Place the chicken thighs in the prepared baking dish. Pour the maple-ginger sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated using tongs or gloved hands. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil, flip the chicken thighs, and continue baking uncovered until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 200°F (93°C), approximately 15 minutes. Flip the thighs once more, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
