Number Of Ingredients 11

MARINADE
1/2 c fresh cranberries
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp soy sauce, low sodium
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 clove garlic, peeled
1 tsp dried italian herbs, or thyme
CHICKEN
6-8 chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Place thighs in a large zipper-type plastic bag or glass baking dish.
  • 2. Mix marinade ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour marinade over thighs and seal bag (or cover dish). Place in fridge and marinate, turning occasionally, for at least 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 375F. Mix syrup and vinegar in a small glass. Set aside.
  • 4. Remove thighs (saving marinade) and place them skin side down in an oblong glass baking dish. Pour reserved marinade over thighs evenly.
  • 5. Bake skin side down for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and turn skin side up. Brush with the syrup/vinegar mixture and return to oven. Bake another 20-30 minutes, or until skin is crispy and thighs are done.
  • 6. Serve.
