Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish in a single layer.
- Arrange the sliced onions and sweet potato chunks around the chicken.
- Pour the maple mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Use a spoon or brush to spread the sauce if needed.
- Halfway through baking, baste the chicken and vegetables with the sauce from the bottom of the baking dish to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Make sure the sweet potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
- If necessary, switch the oven to broil for the last 5 minutes to give the chicken a nice, caramelized finish.
- Remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the chicken thighs with the sweet potatoes and onions, drizzled with any remaining sauce from the pan.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the chicken thighs in the maple syrup mixture for at least an hour for more flavor.
- Cut the onions and sweet potatoes into uniform pieces for even roasting.
- Use a baking dish that allows the ingredients to be spread out in a single layer for optimal caramelization.
- Baste the chicken with the maple syrup mixture halfway through the cooking process for extra flavor.
- To check for doneness, ensure the chicken juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking to retain its juices.
