Crowd-Pleasing Maple Chicken
HUBBY DELICIOUS METER: 10/10.
This is my go-to potluck chicken because I know it’s a crowd pleaser, uses only 6 ingredients, and takes under an hour to make! Not everyone likes red pepper flakes though,
so unless a spicy kick is alright to serve, opt out of it. You can use any vinegar to sub rice wine, it is just my preferred vinegar for this dish. Some regions/countries do not have maple syrup available either, so you can sub for honey or “fake” maple-flavored pancake syrup
* 1 tsp Brown sugar
* ½ cup of Dijon mustard
* ¼ cup of 100% maple syrup (substitute for pancake syrup or honey if needed)
* 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar (or subsitute for any vinegar you have on hand)
* Rosemary (or any leaf spice, basil goes well, too)
* Boneless chicken thighs (skin on is okay)
* Red pepper flakes (OPTIONAL)
* Lemon juice (OPTIONAL)
