I found this recipe in my wife’s recipe files. It turned out great. The combination of honey and balsamic really works well together. You will not be disappointed with the sauce. If you feel “wild” try adding some hot sauce to give it some heat.

Ingredients

35 minutes
4 servings
  1. 4-6Chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on
  2. 1/2 cupbalsamic vinegar
  3. 1/2 cuphoney
  4. 1/4 cupsoy sauce
  5. 2 Tbspolive oil
  6. 1 Tbspfresh ginger grated
  7. 4garlic cloves minced
  8. 1scallion chopped
  9. 1 Tbspcornstarch dissolved in 1 Tbsp water

Cooking Instructions

35 minutes
  1. 1

    Mix all the marinade ingredients; balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, scallion, and garlic.

  2. 2

    Place chicken thighs in a plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Work the chicken around to coat. Marinate for a minimum of 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet/pan with aluminum foil and spray with oil. Remove chicken from bag and let excess marinade drip off. Place chicken on baking sheet skin side down. Save marinade. Put chicken in oven and bake for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    After 30 minutes check temperature of the chicken. Should be at least 165°F. If it is turn over the chicken so skin is now on top. Change oven to “broil” and broil chicken until the skin is crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Transfer the marinade from the bag to a small saucepan. Pour in any drippings from the baking pan into the saucepan. Bring to a boil (very important since raw chicken was in the marinade) and then whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue boiling until you get a syrup/glaze like consistency, but as soon as you add the cornstarch you should be at the right consistency.

  6. 6

    After taking the chicken out of the oven let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Brush the chicken with the glaze. Plate the chicken and serve the extra glaze on the side. Enjoy!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
