BALSAMIC-HONEY CHICKEN THIGHS
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.

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.
