Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken thighs in the baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn chicken to coat evenly.
- Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).

- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve with rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
Notes
- Use boneless thighs or breasts, adjusting cook time as needed.
