Cooking Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the balsamic glaze, olive oil, tomato paste, honey, lemon juice, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, guaranteeing they're fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up in the baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) and the skin is crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
For an extra touch, consider garnishing the dish with freshly chopped herbs or a sprinkle of feta cheese. This won't only enhance the presentation but also add an additional layer of flavor.
Don't forget to serve the chicken with a drizzle of any leftover glaze for an extra burst of tangy sweetness. Enjoy your delicious balsamic glazed chicken thighs!
