Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this herb mixture all over 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, coating evenly.
- Step 2: Place the chicken thighs skin side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes until the skin is golden and juices run clear.
- Step 3: While chicken bakes, in a small saucepan combine 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Heat over medium-low for 5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
- Step 4: Remove chicken from oven and brush generously with the honey glaze. Return to oven for 5 more minutes to caramelize the glaze.
- Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving, spooning any extra glaze over the chicken.
