Feb 06 2013 Holy Yum Chicken Posted in: Chicken, Main Entree7 comments If you have never made anything from my blog, drop everything and make this for dinner tonight. I’m telling you, YOU.WILL.NOT.REGRET.IT. I’ve made this chicken 3 times already. 3 times in ONE WEEK. I’m completely, utterly, addicted to it. It’s the EASIEST recipe, EVER and the tastiest. It will make your taste buds SING and you’ll be doing cartwheels all over your living room. Seriously. If you’re not much of a cook or if you don’t have a ton of time on your hands, this is the dish for you. Yes, yes, yes! I wish there was some technology where you can just poke your finger at your screen to try the sauce. But, since there isn’t that yet, please please believe me. Why would I lie to you? Ok, I sound like I’m on my hands and knees begging you to make this. I sort of am..and really, it’s only cause I want you to know how glorious this dish is because you probably will make this every week and share it with everyone you know so they can get a taste of this amazingness. :) Holy Yum Chicken Print Save Yield: 2 servings | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 40 minutes Ingredients: 1 1/2 – 2 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken thighs (most of the fat cut and discarded) 1/2 cup Dijon mustard (must be Dijon mustard, no substitutes) 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (again, no substitutes. No fake Aunt Jemima stuff) 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper 1 tbsp. cornstarch 2 tsp. fresh rosemary for garnish Instructions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a 8×8″ oven-proof pan with 2 layers of tin foil. In small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, rice wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Place the chicken thighs in the foil layered pan then pour the mixture on top of it. Turn the chicken around in the sauce to make sure it gets all coated. Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let chicken sit for 5 minutes then transfer to a plate. Do NOT discard the liquid. Immediately after plating chicken, whisk in the 1 tbsp. of cornstarch into the liquid in the pan. You’ll create a nice, thick sauce to drizzle over your chicken. You need to do cornstarch mixing immediately because the liquid needs to be hot in order for it to thicken properly. If it’s still not thickening after 1 tbsp., you can add a little more. Sprinkle rosemary on top before serving. Serve with rice or potatoes or vegetables.
