Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Cooking Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan for best results.
- Make sure the chicken thighs are at room temperature before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan - cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the balsamic mixture over them. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
5. Flip the chicken thighs over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is thick and sticky.
7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
8. Serve the chicken thighs hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
