1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
3Arrange the chicken skin-side up in a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
4Place it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
5While the chicken cooks, prepare the glaze by whisking the maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic in a saucepan.
