Easy Grilled Honey Balsamic Chicken Thighs

These chicken thighs are marinated in a honey balsamic mixture, then grilled to perfection, resulting in a caramelized exterior and tender meat. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
Fresh herbs for garnish optional

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes, then flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
