Instructions:

2. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of mustard, 1 minced garlic clove, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
3. Marinate the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispier skin.

- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
