Today’s Special: Spicy Maple Glazed Chicken

Welcome to my kitchen! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines sweet and spicy flavors in a unique and delicious way. This Spicy Maple Glazed Chicken is perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with friends. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken thighs (600g)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (120ml)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (30ml)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (15ml)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • oven
  • skillet
  • tongs

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet and brush them generously with the maple glaze mixture. Make sure to coat both sides of the chicken thighs for maximum flavor. Reserve some of the glaze for later.

Roast the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. While the chicken is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the remaining glaze mixture. Allow it to simmer and thicken slightly.

Once the chicken thighs are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them with the thickened glaze from the skillet. This extra step will give the chicken a beautiful shine and added flavor. Serve the Spicy Maple Glazed Chicken hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
