Ingredients
- 8-10 chicken thighs
- 1 cup raspberry jam or jelly
- 1 ½ cups raspberries, fresh
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons oregano, leaves, dried
- ¼ cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Prepare a pan with cooking spray that will hold all of your chicken thighs you want to use and the mixture you are going to pour all over them. I usually use a 9x9 or 13x9 inch pan, depending on the size of your chicken thighs. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Rinse chicken and dry with paper towel. Place chicken, as evenly spaced as possible, in your prepared pan. Set aside.
- In a small bowl combine the raspberries with jam or jelly, broth, oregano, vinegar, and garlic. Stir until incorporated.
- Pour mixture over top of chicken. Make sure each piece is coated. Adjust chicken pieces if necessary. I just flip each chicken thigh over a few times. As long as at the end the top of the thigh is showing.
- Bake for between 45-60 minutes or until the minimum internal temperature reaches 170 degrees. We baste the chicken while baking every 10 to 15 minutes, approximately.
- Broil chicken pieces for a few minutes, right after basting for the last time, right before you are going to serve it. It caramelizes and sort of hardens the coating to the chicken. Watch your chicken because it can and will burn quickly. My husband would just tell you that broiling makes all of the good stuff stick to the chicken even more! Regardless, you might want to give that a try! Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Baste the chicken while baking every 10-15 minutes for optimal flavor and texture.
- Broil the chicken pieces for a few minutes right after basting and before serving to give it an extra caramelized flavor and crispiness, if desired.
- Marinate the chicken for a few hours in the raspberry balsamic mixture before baking to give it an extra layer of flavor.
- If using bone in thighs, increase total cooking time by about 10 minutes
- Make sure chicken is cooked all the way through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
- Garnish with additional fresh raspberries, lemon wedges, parsley leaves, or basil leaves before serving for an extra touch of color and flavor.
