Description

A family-style dinner featuring juicy chicken thighs coated in a sticky, caramelized balsamic and honey glaze. Simple to prepare and perfect for roasting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
  3. Place chicken skin-side up on the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until the skin is golden.
  4. While chicken roasts, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  5. Remove chicken from the oven and brush the balsamic glaze generously over each piece.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
