Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs bone-in chicken thighs provides moisture and rich flavor
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil adds richness and helps with browning
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced offers a savory aromatic depth
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme contributes an earthy fragrance
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary adds a piney, fresh note
  • 1 Juice of 1 lemon provides acidity and brightens flavors
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce introduces savory umami
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar adds complexity and sweetness
  • 2 tbsp raw honey for a subtle, natural sweetness

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to the desired temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon juice, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Whisk until well combined.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  • Cover the baking dish and let the chicken marinate.

Cooking

  • After marinating, bake the thighs in the preheated oven.
  • Check for doneness; the chicken should be cooked through and have a caramelized surface.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate overnight. Use chicken thighs of similar size for even cooking. Consider broiling for crispy skin.
