Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup figs, chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a saucepan, combine chopped figs, honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil over medium heat. Cook until the figs soften and the mixture becomes syrupy, about 10 minutes.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour the fig glaze over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a glossy glaze.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
Notes
To check if the chicken is done, use a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (75°C). You can make the fig glaze ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
