Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 0.25 cups Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes.
Step 6
Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken thighs in the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, basting the chicken with the pan sauce halfway through cooking.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad.
