Remember that weird baked chicken recipe that had Dijon mustard, maple syrup and vinegar? In my house, it was not known as Man Pleasin' Chicken but as Katie Pleasin' Chicken because my daughter loved it. It was a regular in my high-protein dinner recipe rotation for a long time, and still gets a place at the table today. (Check out the health benefits of protein.)
As bizarre as the ingredients sound, this easy chicken recipe still works. And it's trending again, so we think you need to try it. To make this baked chicken recipe, you need boneless chicken thighs, Dijon mustard, maple syrup or pancake syrup, rice wine vinegar and optional fresh rosemary. Everything bakes up together in the oven for about 40 minutes.
After my first bite, I thought how in the world can these crazy ingredients taste so good? Sometimes the strangest things make the most tasty dinners.
Serve this easy, gluten-free baked chicken recipe for dinner with your favorite side dishes.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
Here's how to make it:
- Combine the mustard, syrup and rice wine vinegar. (I used pancake syrup instead of maple syrup and lite seasoned rice wine vinegar.)
- Season the thighs with salt and pepper. Put the chicken into a 13x-9-inch baking pan. Pour the mustard mixture over the chicken. Spoon the sauce over so the chicken is completely covered. Sprinkle with rosemary, if using.
- Bake in a preheated 450-degree F oven for about 40 minutes. Garnish with fresh rosemary, if desired.

I know exactly how it tastes. And the word to describe the flavor is "acrid."
That's what happens when you take a high fat content food like chicken thighs and COAT IT IN SUGAR. The thighs naturally want to turn crispy with the skin. But you choke them with a thick coating of sugary gel. And then bake it at a temperature sufficient to burn the sugar.
This recipe screams "I don't know what I'm doing." And the picture you used for the article is 100% certified proof that is true. You have burnt sugar and charred skin, because you f-ed up.
I will eat charred and burnt chicken. It doesn't taste great, but I'll eat it anyway. But I will not eat burnt chicken covered in burnt sugar. That's gross. This entire recipe is disgusting.
