Instructions
- Using a standard blender, blend all the marinade ingredients together (fresh cranberries, avocado oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, fresh rosemary, and broth) until smooth, which will take about 1 minute.
- Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Spoon the marinade over chicken thighs, taking care to coat each completely.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with the cover or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 48 hours.
- Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Using a spoon or rubber spatula, scrape the marinade off the tops of the chicken thighs. Be careful not to tear any skin.
- Brush the tops of the chicken thighs with olive oil. Arrange the cranberries and rosemary sprigs around the chicken.
- Bake the chicken for 20 minutes. Afterward, using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the meat until it reaches 165° F. Once the chicken thighs reach this temperature, remove them from the oven.
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Remove the rosemary sprigs from the baking dish.
- Brush the tops of chicken thighs with maple syrup.
- Place the chicken in the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the skin is nicely browned. Watch closely, checking every minute to ensure the chicken does not burn.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the marinade from the dish all over it. Let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Use Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Thighs: This chicken part stays juicier and more flavorful, plus the skin adds a delightful texture to the dish.
- Adjust The Taste: Sample the cranberry marinade as you cook and make adjustments depending on your personal preferences.
- Don’t Let The Meat Overcook: This might result in dry, rubbery chicken that’s difficult to chew.
- Let It Rest: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes after it has cooked will help the juices redistribute, making the dish even more flavorful.
- Remove Any Excess Fat: If you don’t like your dish to turn too greasy, trim off any excess fat from the chicken thighs before using them.
