BALSAMIC-HONEY CHICKEN THIGHS



Balsamic-Honey Chicken Thighs image

I wanted to create something light with relatively few ingredients that didn't have vying tastes. This was perfect. Very simple but delicious. The measurements for the broth and balsamic vinegar are approximate. I served it with thin no-yolk egg noodles with a little bit of browned butter, black pepper, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Great side.

Provided by ratherbeswimmin

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 chicken thighs, with bone and skin
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cooking Day: mix oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Transfer marinade to a large freezer bag.
  • Add chicken to bag, turning to coat thoroughly; remove as much air as possible, and seal bag.
  • Take a cake pan, or another pan with sides and lay bag flat; place pan in the freezer and flash freeze.
  • Once flash frozen, remove bag from pan and place bag inside freezer.
  • Serving Day: defrost meal--place in the refrigerator with a pan, plate, or bowl underneath to catch the extra moisture (or leaks) from defrosting; thaw chicken completely.
  • Place chicken, skin side up and well coated with marinade, into rimmed baking pan or dish.
  • Roast, uncovered in a 350° oven until brown and cooked through, about 35-40 minutes.
  • *Chicken may also be grilled over med-hot coals until cooked through, turning once.
  • Per serving--225 calories, 20.1 g fat, 0 g fiber.

Tips:

  • To ensure evenly cooked chicken thighs, make sure they are all roughly the same size. If some are significantly larger than others, consider cutting them into more uniform pieces.
  • For a crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before searing them. This will help remove excess moisture and allow the skin to brown more easily.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken thighs. If there is too much chicken in the pan, it will steam rather than sear, resulting in soggy skin.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken thighs. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. To prevent this, cook the chicken thighs until they are cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • The balsamic vinegar sauce is versatile and can be used on other dishes as well. Try it on grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or even as a marinade for chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

Chicken thighs with balsamic vinegar is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, while the balsamic vinegar sauce adds a tangy sweetness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try.
