# What you'll need:
→ Chicken
01 - 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
→ Vegetables
05 - 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
06 - 1 red onion, cut into wedges
07 - 2 cups baby spinach (optional, for serving)
→ Maple Glaze
08 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
09 - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
10 - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
11 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
13 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
# Method:
01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
02 - In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes and red onion with half of the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly in a large baking dish or rimmed sheet pan.
03 - Pat chicken thighs dry and rub with remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Arrange chicken pieces among the vegetables in the baking dish.
04 - Whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dried thyme in a small bowl.
05 - Brush half of the maple glaze evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
06 - Bake for 25 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze. Continue baking for 15 minutes more or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
07 - Scatter baby spinach over the hot bake and allow it to wilt before serving.
08 - Serve the chicken and sweet potatoes hot, spooning pan juices over each portion.
