Savor the melding of sweet and savory with these Glazed Maple Sesame Chicken Thighs. Tender and juicy chicken thighs are marinated in a flavorful mix of maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil, then baked and broiled to perfection for a caramelized finish. Garnished with fresh parsley, ever...
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, sesame oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic.
3
Stir in 1 tablespoon of the chopped fresh parsley.
4
Mix the ingredients well ensuring that the chicken thighs are thoroughly coated and allow them to marinate at room temperature for one hour.
5
After marination, transfer the chicken thighs to a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
6
Bake the thighs in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches approximately 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
7
After baking, position the baking dish on the top rack of the oven and set the broiler to high. Broil the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and slightly browned. Be mindful of not burning them.
8
Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute within the meat.
9
Before serving, baste the chicken thighs with the pan juices and sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of chopped parsley on top for garnishment.
