Balsamic-Glazed Chicken Thighs Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 35 min total

Juicy, caramelized chicken thighs with a sweet-tangy balsamic glaze that's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lbs)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried rosemary

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
3. Drain excess fat from skillet, leaving about 1 tbsp. Add balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer, scraping up browned bits. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
4. Return chicken to skillet, skin-side up. Spoon some glaze over the top.
5. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F), about 15-20 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with extra glaze from the pan.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes after baking.
• Serve with roasted vegetables or a side salad.
• Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
