Man-Pleasing Chicken
Note: use a dish just big enough for chicken

Ingredients
8 tsp Dijon mustard or Dijon honey mustard
8 tsp maple syrup
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
2 chicken thighs
salt and pepper

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Mix Dijon mustard, maple syrup and rice wine vinegar together in a bowl.
3. Place chicken thighs in oven proof dish salt and pepper chicken. I always spray my dish with cooking spray to help in cleaning later or line with foil saves you a lot of clean up.
4. Pour mustard, maple, vinegar mix over the the thighs. Turning the thighs over so they are fully coated.
5. Put in oven and bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 155 degrees. I find that a meat thermometer is essential in cooking because it allows me to check to see if done without cutting into the meat and losing its precious juices.
6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. Plate the chicken , making sure to spoon some sauce over the top. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, or rosemary or other fresh herbs of your choice.
