Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Calories 280kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp AIP-compliant sweetener e.g., honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh thyme and rosemary for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear for 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and browned. Flip the chicken over.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, AIP-compliant sweetener, dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Pour the balsamic glaze mixture over the chicken thighs in the skillet. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is tender. Baste occasionally with the glaze in the pan to keep the chicken juicy.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme and rosemary, if desired.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with the pan juices spooned over the top.
