BALSAMIC CHICKEN THIGHS WITH RED ONIONS
I like using balsamic vinegar in my cooking, and this recipe is no exception: You can substitute chicken breasts, but I'd advise against it -- The thighs are higher in fat, but taste much better. Note: Very good over cooked rice.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Starting at the neck, carefully loosen the breast skin away from the flesh, trying not to tear it, then place a branch of rosemary down the side of each one.

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SWEET ONION BALSAMIC RELISH
Based on a Cooking Light recipe, this has been modified to suit my own tastes. The sweet onions and balsamic vinegar create a lovely contrast in flavors that pair together so well. I usually serve this with couscous or brown rice with a green vegetable such as zucchini or spinach. Reheats well for lunch the next day.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Saute onions with 1/4 teaspoon of pepper for about 5 minutes, the onions should be soft and golden.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon pepper, chicken, oregano, and thyme to pan, and sprinkle with 4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar.
- Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until chicken is done.
- Uncover, increase heat, and cook 2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vinegar, and sprinkle with parsley.
Tips:
- Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture. The bones and skin help keep the chicken moist and juicy during cooking.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry before cooking to help the skin crisp up.
- Use a combination of olive oil and butter to cook the chicken thighs. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor.
- Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat until they are cooked through. This will take about 15-20 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
- Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Balsamic chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the balsamic glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
