THE RECIPE
Ingredients:
1/2 c organic Dijon mustard

optional: salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Mix Dijon mustard, maple syrup and rice wine vinegar together in a bowl.
3. Place thighs in glass baking dish (I line w/parchment paper for easy clean up) sprinkle with salt, pepper & garlic powder.
4. Pour mustard, maple, vinegar mix over the chicken. Turning the thighs to coat in sauce.
5. Place in oven and bake for 40 minutes (turning halfway through) or until thermometer reads 160-165 degrees.
6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. Plate the chicken, making sure to spoon some sauce over the top.
Serve with roasted broccoli and baked sweet potatoes & enjoy!
