Maple-Mustard Chicken Thighs

So D marinated these the night before we had these for dinner. I don't know how easy they were, but he grilled them and they were done within the hour it took me to drive home.

They had a sweet taste to them but not overpowering. I was sad when they were done...I wanted more. We had with Roasted Chile-Garlic Broccoli.
