Follow these easy steps to create your amazing Grilled Chicken Thighs with Maple-Mustard Marinade:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until well blended.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

3. Preheat the Grill: Prepare your grill for medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure to manage the coals to maintain a consistent temperature.

4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken thighs out of the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the chicken and continue grilling for another 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your grilled chicken thighs as is or with your favorite sides!
