MAPLE-MUSTARD BAKED CHICKEN



MAPLE-MUSTARD BAKED CHICKEN image

Categories     Chicken     Bake     Dinner     Lunch     Healthy

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons
Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons
pure maple syrup, preferably grade B
2 tablespoons
peanut or canola oil, divided
1 tablespoon
finely chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
3/4 teaspoon
freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon
salt
4-41/2 pounds
bone-in chicken pieces, thighs, drumsticks and/or breast; skin removed, trimmed
1 1/2 cups
fresh breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat

Steps:

  • 1.Whisk mustard, maple syrup, 1 tablespoon oil, thyme, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours. 2.Preheat oven to 400°F. Set a wire rack on a large baking sheet. 3.Combine breadcrumbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil on a plate. Dredge the skinned side of each chicken piece in the breadcrumbs (with drumsticks, dredge the meatier side) and arrange breaded-side up on the wire rack. Leave at least 1 inch between pieces. 4.Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165°F, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve hot or let cool, refrigerate and serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces. Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe, as they will stay moist and juicy during baking.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup. Pure maple syrup has a richer flavor than pancake syrup, and it will help to caramelize the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Make sure there is enough space around each piece of chicken so that it can cook evenly.
  • Roast the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit when measured with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender meat.

Conclusion:

Maple baked chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet maple syrup and savory spices creates a flavorful crust on the chicken, while the tender meat stays moist and juicy. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
