Balsamic Marinated Chicken Thighs
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour the balsamic marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Alternatively, you can bake the chicken in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your balsamic marinated chicken thighs!
Balsamic marinated chicken thighs have a rich history rooted in Italian culinary traditions. This dish is a testament to the art of marinating, where succulent chicken thighs are infused with the sweet and tangy flavors of balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs. Renowned chefs in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy have perfected this recipe, using aged balsamic vinegar from Modena to achieve a depth of flavor that is unparalleled. The key to this dish lies in the quality of the balsamic vinegar and the marinating process, allowing the flavors to meld and tenderize the chicken. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Italian trattorias, where the chicken thighs are grilled to perfection, creating a caramelized exterior and juicy interior. For a twist on the traditional recipe, some chefs incorporate honey or Dijon mustard into the marinade, adding complexity to the flavor profile. Whether enjoyed in a rustic Italian countryside or at a modern bistro, balsamic marinated chicken thighs are a true celebration of Italian culinary heritage.
