Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to a baking dish, skin-side up. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and slightly crispy.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Pair with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a mixed green salad.
