Description
An herb-garden-inspired recipe featuring Winter savory, rosemary, and fresh sage paired with balsamic vinegar and olive oil for juicy, flavorful chicken thighs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–1.5 pounds chicken thighs
- 3 fresh rosemary sprigs
- 5–9 sprigs dried (or fresh) Winter Savory herb (or Thyme)
- 3 leaves fresh sage, chopped
- 1/4–1/2 cup olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4–1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper medley
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
- lemon wedges for serving, optional
Instructions
- Step: Mix all marinade ingredients in a baking dish and coat the chicken thighs in the mixture.
- Step: Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, though it can be marinated for a few hours or overnight (8 hours) for better flavor.
- Step: Bake in a 350-degree F oven for 25-35 minutes, turning the chicken once halfway through.
- Step: Allow the chicken to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
The safest way to check for doneness is by using a meat thermometer; the internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius).
