Honey Balsamic Glazed Chicken Thighs

INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ▢3 garlic cloves
  • 2 small onions chopped in half
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp sweet paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 6 radish
  • 4 thyme stems
  • 2 blood oranges (or regular oranges)
  • Pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven at 180C/350F
  • In a large bowl squeeze in juice of one blood orange
  • Add the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, molasses, honey, garlic cloves, onions, ginger, sweet paprika, salt and coconut oil. Mix well.
  • Add in the chicken thighs and rub the mixture on every part
  • Line an oven tray or baking dish with baking paper
  • Add the chicken and pour the mixture over it
  • Slice the other blood orange and add it in tray or dish
  • Add the radish and thyme stems
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Halfway through turn the chicken over.
  • Remove from oven. Season with pepper and enjoy!

NOTES

  • Line the baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking (and make clean up easier)
  • Make sure you rub the balsamic glaze on every part of the chicken.
  • Turn the chicken over halfway through cooking time to make sure it cooks evenly. Do this only once–flipping it over back and forth gets fussy and will dry it out.
  • Turn this into a one dish dinner by adding sliced carrots and potatoes to roast in the dish along with the chicken.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container, or wrapped tightly in aluminum foil. It will keep in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the oven until it reaches 165F.
