Man-Pleasing Chicken

Well, I don't know about that title, but that's what it's called. It pleased me pretty well too. But when the recipe advises "line your dish with foil" please pay attention. What a mess I had...even soaking overnight didn't clean the pan and I finally resorted to an SOS pad, something I was amazed I even had in the house. Now that I've warned you, I've got to say this was both simple AND delicious. Such a snap to throw together and most of us have the 3 ingredients in the fridge or pantry. I'm going to show you a photo of the burned pan at the end...it's worth it's weight in gold re: reading and following instructions. (I noticed Witty in the City pulled the thighs from the pan and plated them for her photo. And I now know why. Crusted foil isn't very pretty either, but it's easier to clean up.)

Man Pleasing Chicken
From Witty in the City

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

 Method:
Preheat oven to 450º
Line a baking pan with foil!
Mix the first three ingredients. Dry the thighs, salt and pepper them and add to the pan. Pour the sauce over them, turning so they're covered on both sides. Bake for 40 minutes or until thermometer reads 160. Baste once or twice.
Tip: I used the above sauce recipe for just 2 thighs and barely had enough to baste. I'd double the sauce ingredients if I was making 6.
