Cooking Instructions

1. Thaw Completely: If frozen, ensure chicken thighs are fully thawed in the refrigerator. Never thaw at room temperature.

2. Pat Dry: Use paper towels to pat the chicken thighs dry. This is crucial for achieving a good sear or crispy skin if applicable.

3. Season Well: Season generously on all sides with salt, black pepper, and your preferred herbs or spices. Thighs can handle robust flavors.

4. Cook Thoroughly: Cook chicken thighs until they reach an internal temperature of 175°F (80°C) using a food thermometer. Thighs are more forgiving than breasts and are often preferred cooked to a slightly higher temperature for optimal tenderness and texture.

5. Rest: For juicier results, let the cooked chicken thighs rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing or serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Meal Idea - Balsamic Brown Sugar Chicken

Prep Time: ~10-15 minutes (for Marinade Prep)+ Overnight Marination / Cook Time: ~15 minutes

Ingredients

• 6-8 ct. Member's Mark Boneless and Skinless Chicken Thighs
• 3 tblsp balsamic vinegar, divided
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 2 tblsp brown sugar
• 2 tblsp kosher salt
• 2 tblsp honey
• 1 tblsp mustard (Dijon or yellow, based on preference)

Directions

1. Marinate Chicken (Overnight): In a food storage bag, combine 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Add the chicken thighs to the bag. Seal the bag and toss gently to ensure the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate and let marinate overnight.

2. Preheat Grill (Next Day): The next day, preheat your outdoor grill on high heat, then reduce it to low.

3. Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade (discard any remaining marinade). Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 15 minutes, or until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

4. Prepare Glaze: While the chicken is grilling, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon mustard in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.

5. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the grill. Drizzle the prepared balsamic glaze over the chicken, or over a fresh lettuce salad to serve alongside the chicken thighs. Enjoy!
