Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup real maple syrup
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 bone-in skin-on chicken breast halves with large pieces of skin intact (about 3 lb)
4 tablespoons firm butter, each tablespoon cut into smaller pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 425°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil.
  • In small bowl, mix syrup, vinegar, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the garlic.
  • Starting on one side of each chicken, slowly work your fingers under the skin. You are trying to loosen the connection between the skin and meat, not remove the skin. Place chicken, skin sides up, in foil-lined pan. For each chicken piece, use a spoon to drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the syrup mixture under the skin and spread evenly over the meat. Dot each with 1 tablespoon of the butter pieces. Evenly replace any skin you may have displaced. Rub skin with oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
  • Roast chicken uncovered 30 to 35 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when thickest part is cut to bone (180°F). Remove from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving to let juices reabsorb.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and the chicken is always delicious. I usually serve it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes, but it would also be good with rice or pasta.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a batch of roasted chicken breasts on Sunday, and then used them to make this dish on Monday. It was just as good as when I made it with fresh chicken.
