Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with foil. Pat dry 6 bone-in chicken thighs and season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup ketchup, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce until smooth and glossy.
Step 3: Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the chicken thighs and rub evenly to coat. Arrange the thighs skin-side up on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Roast the chicken for 25 minutes, then brush generously with the maple barbecue glaze. Return to oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
