Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, approximately 1.5 lbs. total weight
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- Rice for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare small rimmed baking sheet by spraying lightly with non-stick spray.
- Place the chicken thighs, skin side up, in pan. Season the thighs with salt and pepper. Bake the thighs until the skin is crispy and the juices run clear when the thighs are pierced with a fork, 30 minutes. Internal temperature should read 165°F on a instant read thermometer.
- While the chicken roasts, combine the olive oil, honey, vinegar, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let stand for 5 minutes. Sauce will continue to thicken.
- Once the chicken is done, baste each thigh with the glaze and serve warm with additional sauce and cooked rice, if desired.
