Roasted Balsamic Chicken Thighs

These Roasted Balsamic Chicken Thighs are a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that combines the richness of chicken thighs with the tangy sweetness of balsamic vinegar. The marinated chicken is roasted until golden brown and tender, making it the perfect main dish for any meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a different sweetness)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh, finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh, finely chopped)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Prepare the Marinade:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, rosemary, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This will create a flavorful marinade.

  3. Marinate the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to develop.

  4. Roast the Chicken:

    • After marinating, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
    • Drizzle any leftover marinade over the chicken thighs. Roast the chicken for 35-45 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

  5. Serve:

    • Once roasted, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve these roasted balsamic chicken thighs with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
  • For a more substantial meal, pair it with rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious balsamic glaze.

Tips:

  • Crispier Skin: For extra crispy skin, make sure the chicken thighs are skin-side up and roast them uncovered.
  • Marinate Longer: If you have time, marinate the chicken for longer than 30 minutes to infuse even more flavor.
  • Vegetables: You can also roast vegetables alongside the chicken by adding them to the baking sheet. Potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers work well with this recipe.

This Roasted Balsamic Chicken Thighs recipe is quick, flavorful, and sure to be a hit at your dinner table!
