Maple Soy Baked Chicken Thighs Recipes

BAKED MAPLE CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Whisk maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar together in a bowl. Pour over chicken thighs in a bowl and marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Place chicken in the prepared casserole dish and pour remaining marinade on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip chicken and continue baking until juices run clear and sauce is thick, about 25 minutes more. Serve with sauce over chicken.

MAPLE SOY GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Generously season chicken thighs with salt.
• Combine maple syrup, soy, hoisin, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl or pyrek with pour spout and whisk with fork. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil in large skillet on medium high heat. Turn skillet so it's well oiled. Add chicken, smooth (or what would be skin) side up, to sear.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes before adding sauce and then flip chicken, smooth side down.
• Keep heat at medium-high and let sauce boil, cooking down. Cook for another 2-3 minutes before flipping to smooth side down.
• Keep cooking the glaze and chicken until most of the liquid has cooked off. Keep the chicken smooth side down so that the sauce carmalizes to the chicken.
• After another about 10 more minutres of cooking, or until the glaze has mostly cooked off and chicken has reached 165 degrees, remove from heat and serve immediately.

MAPLE SOY BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic, cinnamon, ground pepper, and kosher salt.
• Place the chicken thighs in the bowl to marinate while your oven preheats. (Or you can place them in a ziploc bag or tupperware, add the marinade, then let them marinate overnight in the fridge.)
• Usually you would do this first but heating your oven after the chicken is marinating gives it about 30 minutes to soak up the flavor a bit.
• When your oven reaches temperature add the chicken pieces and marinade to a baking dish. I used a 7×11 pyrex dish but you can also use a 9×13 if that's what you have. Just make sure the pieces are in a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes skin side up.
• After 25 minutes has passed, flip the chicken pieces onto the other side using tongs and raise the oven temperature to 450F. Cook for another 5 minutes. Flip the chicken one more time so that the skin is facing up, and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the skin has a deep golden color and some crispiness.
• Test with an instant-read thermometer to confirm that the chicken has finished cooking. It is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Serve with your desired sides, spooning any remaining marinade onto the chicken when serving.

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

OVEN BAKED MAPLE-SOY CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• 1. To make the marinade combine the first seven ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Place marinade in a large zip lock bag and seal. Refrigerate and marinate chicken for 1 hour.
• 2. Remove chicken from the bag, pouring marinade into a small saucepan. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. While you're making the sauce, pre heat oven to 375 degrees.
• 3. Cook until marinade reduces to about 1/4 cup (about 5-8 minutes). You'll notice that it thickens a bit. I let mine sit off the heat a few minutes longer to allow it to thicken even more. It becomes gooey and rich.
• 4. Arrange chicken in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet and baste with 2 T of cooked marinade. Sprinkle with salt. I baked mine in 2 8x8 inch pans.
• 5. Bake chicken for 20 minutes. Turn over and add 2 more T of maple-soy mixture. Bake 15 minutes more or until chicken is done. Let cool a bit and sprinkle with chopped scallions and serve with maple-soy edamame rice.
• 6. To make the rice measure 1 cup of instant rice, 1-3/4 cups of water, 2 T butter and about 1 T leftover marinade. Add to medium size saucepan. Bring the rice mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer 10-12 minutes until water is absorbed. Add a handful of cooked edamame, fluff with fork and serve with chicken. Yummy.

MAPLE GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Mix together all ingredients save the thighs in a resealable bag or non reactive container. Add thighs and seal. Marinade in the fridge for 2 to 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, prepare the cooking surface with a light coating of cooking spray or oil. Remove the thighs from the marinade removing any excess.
• Place thighs on the grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until a thermometer registers 165 degrees. Actual cooking time will vary depending on the type of grill chosen. Remove chicken to a serving plate.
• Place the marinade in a small sauce pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to a low simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Generously brush the chicken with the sauce and serve.

MAPLE ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Using paper towels, pat the chicken dry and trim off any excess fat. Place in a large resealable plastic bag or medium bowl with a lid.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and 2 tablespoons salt. Pour into the bag with the chicken, seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pull the brined chicken out of the fridge, drain off the brine and pat the chicken dry. On a rimmed sheet pan, rub the chicken with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
• Set it skin side up and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
• As the chicken roasts, make the glaze: Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, fennel, paprika and ½ cup water to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced and thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
• Brush the cooked thighs with the glaze and set under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute, keeping an eye on the glaze as it is quick to burn. Serve hot.

MAPLE-ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking pan with foil.
• Whisk 1 teaspoon olive oil, maple syrup, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Toss sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts together in a large bowl with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Brush chicken with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Arrange chicken, smooth sides down, in the center of the prepared pan. Arrange vegetables around chicken.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• Turn chicken over; brush it, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts with maple syrup mixture. Continue to roast until potatoes are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest parts of the chicken registers 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with pecans and cranberries.

MAPLE-GINGER CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
• Combine maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic oil, ginger powder, sesame seeds, pepper, and cayenne in a bowl.
• Neatly arrange chicken thighs in the baking dish. Pour maple sauce over the chicken thighs. Use tongs or gloved hands to turn thighs over in sauce until fully coated. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Uncover baking dish and turn thighs over. Continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Turn over once more and sprinkle with parsley. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
