  6. Pour the maple garlic sauce generously over the chicken thighs.

  8. After 25 minutes, sprinkle shredded cheese and crispy halal bacon over the chicken and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  9. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve the chicken warm, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions and drizzle with remaining sauce.
