Ingredients:

1/2 cup maple syrup
120g
1/2 cup tomato sauce
120g
1/3 cup vinegar
72g
2 tsp mustard
10g
12 chicken thighs
1200g
2 onions
320g
2 sweet potatos
400g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, tomato sauce, vinegar, and mustard until well combined. This will be your marinade and basting sauce.
3. Prep the Vegetables: Peel and slice the onions. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into chunks. Set them aside.
4. Arrange the Chicken and Vegetables:
- Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish in a single layer.
- Arrange the sliced onions and sweet potato chunks around the chicken.
5. Add the Sauce:
- 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.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Halfway through baking, baste the chicken and vegetables with the sauce from the bottom of the baking dish to keep them moist and flavorful.
7. Check for Doneness:
- 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.
8. Serve:
- 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.

Maple baked chicken with sweet potato is a wonderful dish that brings together a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The sweet and tangy maple glaze pairs perfectly with the tender chicken thighs, while the onions and sweet potatoes add a hearty complement. This recipe is sure to become a family favorite, offering both comfort and gourmet appeal. Enjoy your culinary creation and the appreciation from those you serve it to.
