Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3 to 4 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs*

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend all ingredients for the marinade (everything but the chicken) in a small blender. Add the chicken pieces to a zip lock bag followed by the marinade. Seal the bag and shake and move the chicken around until everything is well-coated.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 to 6 hours.
  3. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Heat a cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium with 1 to 2 tablespoons cooking oil (I use avocado oil). Carefully place the chicken on the hot skillet skin-side down. Sear the chicken on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes, until the skin has lots of color. 
  4. Remove skillet from the stove top. Cover the skillet with foil (or oven-safe cover if you have one) and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake 25 to 35 minutes, or until chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and is cooked through.
  5. Allow chicken to rest 10 minutes before serving with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • *This equates to about 8 bone-in thighs. You can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs or boneless skinless chicken breasts, but note that they will require far less bake time than bone-in pieces.
