Maple Soy Chicken Thighs
Boneless chicken thighs seared golden in one skillet, then glazed in a sticky maple soy sauce made with just maple syrup, Tamari, and apple cider vinegar. Sweet, salty, and deeply savory — this is a 25-minute weeknight dinner that tastes like way more effort than it is.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
Sweet and salty mixture:
- 1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1½ tablespoons tamari sauce, (or regular soy sauce)
- 1½ tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Chicken:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, (small, about 8 pieces)
- Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Sweet and Salty Mixture
- Combine apple cider vinegar, tamari, maple syrup and ground pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Paper towel dry the chicken thighs dry and season generously with salt.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
- When the oil and butter are shimmering, add the chicken thighs and brown on each side for 4-5 minutes per side ( 8-10 minutes total), flipping only once.
- Pour over the maple syrup mixture and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce the heat slightly and let the sweet and salty mixture simmer and reduce, while you flip the chicken thighs every 2 minutes or so to ensure they are completely coated in the glaze.
- When the chicken thighs are cooked through and the sweet and salty mixture is thick and syrupy, remove the chicken from the heat and serve immediately.
