Maple-Mustard Chicken Thighs
These maple mustard chicken thighs only need to marinate for a few hours and the marinade keeps the chicken juicy and flavorful on the inside with a tangy, spicy, slightly-crunchy crust on the outside. A great summer dinner!
Servings servings
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup spicy brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ cup real maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon grated onion
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs in a large Ziploc bag.
- Combine brown mustard, brown sugar, maple syrup, yellow mustard, grated onion, cider vinegar, soy sauce, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl. Pour half of the mixture over the chicken thighs and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- When ready to cook, preheat grill to medium heat. Remove the thighs from the bag and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Cook the thighs 3-5 minutes per side. Using a digital thermometer, cook chicken until it is a minimum temperature of 165°. However, you’ll want to aim for between 170-175° for improved flavor and texture. Drizzle with reserved sauce before serving.
Notes
- If you don't have time to marinate for the full 2 - 4 hours, 30 minutes will work in a pinch!
