For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the marinade. Experiment with different herbs to customize the flavor profile. Rosemary and thyme create a classic combination, while tarragon and parsley offer a more delicate taste. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can also cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried tarragon, and dried thyme until well combined. (2 minutes)
02
StepPlace the chicken thighs in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Pour the balsamic marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag tightly, removing any excess air, and gently massage the marinade into the chicken. Allow the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a deeper flavor infusion. (5 minutes)
03
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
04
StepRemove the chicken thighs from the marinade, discarding the used marinade. Place the marinated chicken thighs on the preheated grill. (2 minutes)
05
StepGrill the chicken for approximately 15 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and beautiful grill marks. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. (15 minutes)
06
StepOnce the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a clean plate or cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful chicken. (10 minutes)
07
StepServe the Balsamic Grilled Chicken Thighs hot off the grill, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or basil, if desired. Enjoy this culinary masterpiece with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a crisp salad.
