I’ve recently become such a fan of chicken thighs.  They’re pretty much impossible to overcook, they’re so much more flavorful and tender than chicken breasts, and they are so versatile.  I love recipes that are both sweet and savory; the sweet maple syrup and pecans really complement the chicken thighs and Brussels sprouts.  After cooking the chicken thighs, I let this sauce simmer and it really caramelizes the meat.  You have to try this one!
