Balsamic Baked Chicken

This balsamic baked chicken recipe combines succulent bone-in chicken thighs with a flavorful marinade for a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The marinade, consisting of balsamic dressing, honey, olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, infuses the chicken with rich and aromatic flavors. To prepare, preheat the oven to 425°F and whisk together the marinade ingredients. Arrange the chicken thighs in a baking dish, coat them with half of the marinade, and bake for 20 minutes. Then, add the remaining marinade and continue baking for 10-15 minutes until the chicken reaches a golden brown color and an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving dish and enjoy, pairing it with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
