Ingredients

Servings

Marinade Ingredients

  • cup cranberries fresh
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or gluten-free soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary fresh
  • ¼ cup bone broth

Chicken Thigh Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs bone in, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • cup cranberries fresh
  • 4 rosemary sprigs, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Using a standard blender, blend together ⅓ cup fresh cranberries, 2 tablespoons avocado oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary and ¼ cup broth until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. Place chicken thighs in a single layer in baking dish, spoon marinade over chicken thighs taking care to coat completely.
  3. Cover baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes up to 48 hours.
  4. Remove baking dish from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  5. Scrape marinade off tops of chicken thighs using a spoon or rubber spatula, being careful not to tear the skin.
  6. Brush tops of chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add ⅔ cup cranberries and 4 sprigs of rosemary to marinade surrounding the chicken.
  7. Bake chicken thighs for 20 minutes then, using a meat thermometer, check internal temperature of chicken until it reaches 165 degrees. Once chicken reaches 165 degrees remove from oven.
  8. Preheat broiler to high and remove rosemary sprigs from baking dish.
  9. Brush tops of chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and place in broil for 3-5 minutes until chicken skin is nicely browned. Watch closely, checking every minute to make sure chicken does not burn.
  10. Remove chicken from oven and spoon marinade from dish, over chicken. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The chicken thighs can be marinated for 30 minutes up to 2 days. So, you can easily prepare the recipe in advance if needed.
  • Don’t overlook scraping off a bit of marinade and re-brushing with oil. It gives the skin the BEST golden, crunchy top.
  • Use bone broth powder to save yourself some time if you don’t have homemade broth on hand. This way you get all the healing benefits but none of the extra work.
  • Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet when you marinate the chicken or move the thighs and sauce to one before baking them.
