Instructions for Oven-Glazed Chicken Thighs
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper.
Place chicken thighs in a glaze/marinade container, covered baking dish, or plastic bag and coat chicken with glaze. Marinade in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
Place chicken thighs and marinade in a 13″ by 9″ baking dish, pouring the glaze/marinade over the chicken thighs. Cover and bake for 20 minutes, uncover and use a pastry brush to re-coat chicken with glaze from the bottom of the pan.
Bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned and has an internal temperature of 165° F and juices run clear. Serve with extra glaze, if desired. Enjoy!
