1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for organic, free-range chicken thighs, and use a good quality balsamic vinegar and orange juice.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken thighs, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear, and you'll end up with soggy, bland meat.
Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
Reduce the balsamic vinegar and orange juice mixture until it is thick and syrupy: This will help to create a delicious glaze for the chicken.
Serve the chicken thighs immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as basil or thyme, for an extra pop of flavor.

Conclusion:

Orange balsamic chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the balsamic vinegar and orange glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
