Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 1.5 lbs bone-in chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup and 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves.
Step 3: Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up in a single layer in a baking dish. Brush generously with the maple-thyme mixture.
Step 4: Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is bubbling and slightly caramelized.
