'The Food You Crave' by Ellie Krieger

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 8  bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed (about 2 1/2 lbs.)
• 1⁄3 cup  grainy French mustard
• 1  garlic clove, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
• 3⁄4 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 3  tablespoons pure maple syrup

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°; rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Combine the mustard, garlic, marjoram, and maple syrup in a small bowl.
3. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mustard mixture evenly on top of each chicken thigh, being careful to cover as much of the surface as possible to form a crust.
4. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a large baking dish.
5. Bake until mustard mixture has formed a crust and is slightly hardened, and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced in the center, 45-50 minutes.
