This recipe features juicy, boneless skinless chicken thighs roasted to perfection with a sweet and tangy balsamic-honey glaze. Quick to prepare and bake, these flavorful chicken thighs make a simple and delicious weeknight meal that pairs well with a variety of sides.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1-1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 4 pieces)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides of the chicken thighs. Let them stand for 5 minutes to absorb the seasoning while you prepare other ingredients.
  2. Prepare to Roast: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and generously coat it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Make the Glaze: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and pressed garlic until combined. Place the chicken thighs in the bowl and turn them repeatedly to coat well in the glaze.
  4. Arrange the Chicken: Transfer the glazed chicken thighs to the prepared baking sheet. Using tongs, tuck the sides of each thigh so they mimic the thickness and shape of bone-in thighs for even cooking.
  5. Glaze and Discard Excess: Spoon any remaining glaze over the chicken thighs before placing in the oven. Discard any leftover glaze that has touched the raw chicken to avoid contamination.
  6. Roast: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor and tenderness.

Notes

  • You can substitute bone-in thighs for a slightly different texture; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • If you don't have pressed garlic, use 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh garlic.
  • Honey can be swapped with maple syrup or agave nectar for a similar sweetness.
  • Discard any leftover glaze that has contacted raw chicken to maintain food safety.
