Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to create the glaze.
Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the maple-ginger glaze over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the glaze is caramelized.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the apple slaw by thinly slicing 1 large apple and shredding 2 cups of green cabbage.
In a separate bowl, mix the sliced apple and cabbage with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt.
Toss the slaw until well combined and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced chicken on a plate with a generous helping of apple slaw on the side, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top for extra flavor.
