Teriyaki Chicken with Thyme and Maple Syrup

6 servings

75 minutes

Teriyaki chicken with thyme and maple syrup is an exquisite blend of Japanese culinary tradition and aromatic European notes. Teriyaki is a sauce that gives the dish a rich caramel hue, while maple syrup adds gentle sweetness, balancing salty and spicy flavors. Thyme, known for its fragrant properties, enhances the aroma and highlights the depth of flavor. Marinating in this mixture makes the chicken incredibly juicy, while baking gives it an appetizing golden crust. The dish is perfect for both family dinners and festive tables, harmonizing with rice or fresh vegetable sides.
