Ingredients

• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, or more to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.25 cup honey

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, thyme, and rosemary together in a bowl until smooth; pour into a resealable plastic bag.

Step 3

Season chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Add to balsamic marinade, toss to coat, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours.

Step 4

Transfer chicken and marinade to a baking dish.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near but not touching the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
