Yum! These turned out really tasty. Whole family liked. Made exactly
The taste of the marinate was not good. The flavor was off. I think it was adding the balsamic vinegar. I definitely will not make this again.
My fussy little 6yo was introduced to this when he stayed with nan and pop. He couldn’t get enough of it and kept going back for more. My husband and I love it too. We just make adjustments in the sauce/marinade as required – sweeter for my son; less sweet for us. We also use pure maple syrup which isn’t as sweet as maple flavoured syrup. Really enjoy this recipe. Thanks nan and pop for discovering it!
I didn’t have dijon mustard so I used brat mustard with a splash of honey mustard. I also seasoned my chicken with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and pink Himalayan salt. Everything else was the same.
Delicious! The sauce was a little too thin but I added a little cornstarch and it was just perfect!
This recipe is similar to a honey mustard chicken I have made in the past so I gave this a try. I used Boneless, skinless thighs since it does not say what type to use. I used real maple syrup as well. The recipe was very easy to make and my husband did like the thighs (he rated this recipe a 4). The “sauce” did not thicken up during baking and was quite runny when added to the tops of the thighs.
