1/2 cup	31g / 1.1oz	Flour
1/4 cup	59ml	Vegetable oil - (approx.)
1/2 cup	164g / 5.8oz	Maple syrup

Recipe Instructions

In large bowl, combine chicken and flour. Toss to coat well, shaking off excess flour. In large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in batches, about 5 minutes, turning frequently and adding more oil as needed, until golden.

Arrange chicken in single layer in 11 X 7" baking dish. In small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients (except green onions) and pour evenly over chicken.

Bake, uncovered, in 325F degree oven for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over; bake for 45 minutes or until the glaze has thickened.

Serve garnished with minced green onions.

NOTES : This recipe came from a very dear Canadian friend of mine (and fellow Ex-Pat in Saudi), Linda St. Pierre who, in turn, got it from her sister-in-law, also named Linda St. Pierre. Can be used with pretty much any kind of chicken pieces.
