This sticky-sweet recipe helps satisfy cravings for
BBQ chicken. Serve it with orange-coconut sweet potatoes and a green salad.
Ingredients
- 6 assorted pieces chicken, with skin
- 1/2 cup Mia Sorella Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/8 cup honey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir until honey and sugar dissolves.
Place chicken pieces in a large zip-lock bag. Carefully pour marinade over them, press air out of bag and seal. Move bag around to ensure marinade disperses. Refrigerate bag for 30 minutes.
Remove chicken from bag and place in a large glass baking dish, spacing chicken evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is tender but fully-cooked.
While chicken cooks, carefully pour remaining marinade from bag into a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil (to kill bacteria), then lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 12-15 minutes until marinade is thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and carefully fish out thyme stems.
Once chicken has finished baking, brush glaze over each piece. Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
Serves 2-3.
