For the Chicken

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking dish with foil and parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Whisk until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side down in the prepared baking dish, avoiding overcrowding.
  4. Pour the marinade generously over the chicken thighs to ensure they're well-coated.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  6. After 30 minutes, flip the chicken so the skin side is facing up and spoon sauce over each piece. Bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
