Soy Balsamic Chicken Thighs

Outstanding! I think this is similar to Japanese Mum's Chicken Japanese Mum's Chicken but it's ever better b/c it's baked and you don't have to watch it. I marinated 4 chicken thighs for 8 hours. I placed then skin side down for 15min. and flipped for 15min., perfect. I didn't use low sodium and I didn't think it was too salty. I followed the directions and I wouldn't change anything the next time around.

I made this tonight and it was really good. Highly recommended. Used boneless, skinless thighs and the texture was perfect and the taste was delicious. I think next time (and that won't be long from now) I'll try slicing a pocket into the thighs so that the marinade can get to the middle. This recipe is a gem.

So good!! I had 6 thighs left over from a pack of 12, so I added the marinade ingredients to the freezer bag and froze the chicken along with it. Thawed out ready to cook! After cooking, I poured the pan drippings into a saucepan and reduced it without adding water and it turned out wonderful - I couldn't get enough! I'll definitely make this again! Thank you!

Fantastic! can't wait to make it again! Did'nt marinate more than an hour or two and was still fantastic. Used Cherry Balsamic but otherwise made just like the recipe. We will definitely make again. Thank you for posting this easy, yummy recipe!
I served it with white rice.
Ok, made again, this time I marinated a pork roast overnight, roasted without turning, although I spooned the marinade/ajus over as it cooked every 15 minutes. Was really yummy!

We've made this twice so far and we love it! The sauce is so good. We use good quality low sodium soy sauce and very good quality balsamic vinegar. Served it over brown rice and enjoyed. Thanks!

we really enjoyed this. followed everything except i put the chicken under the broiler when i separated it from the sauce to simmer. just to crisp up the skin since that's the way we like it. used regular soy sauce and nobody thought it was salty at all. we thought it was perfect. taste very similar to a philippine entree called "chicken adobo".

I made this recipe last night and it went over extremely well. My picky preteens loved it as well as my hubby and 18 month old. I used bone-in chicken legs and thighs and the meat just fell off the bone. I served it with brown rice with edamame and sugar snap peas. Scallions for garnish was a great final touch.(thanks GaylaJ) Also, I've doubled the marinade to ensure there would be enough to drizzle over the rice.

Thought this was great... I didn't even have time to marinate more than 15 minutes...but it was still tasty. Next time I'll be sure to plan ahead though. I added fresh pineapple the last few minutes on the stove and served over brown rice. Yum!

This was very good! I substituted boned+skinless thighs and it worked beautifully. Not too salty. Served with brown rice. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing!

AHA! The elusive recipe that I have been searching for! (about 20 years of searching). The perfect flavoring for Oriental chicken. I did not add a thing. The only thing I will do next time is to skin the thighs. We don't eat the skin, and that's where a lot of flavor landed. (luckily here was a decent amount of juice). Thank you Evie!!

This was delicious. I would not change a thing in this recipe, everything was just the right amount. Not over powering and not to sweet. The sauce is scrumptious. It doesn't get better than this.

This combination of soy sauce & balsamic seemed like an odd pairing to me, but I decided that all these reviews couldn't ALL be wrong! :) Boy, were they ever right! I wasn't able to marinate it as per the directions because I'm an idiot & read it as "up to 24 minutes", but I don't think it made it any less yummy. I will make this again but marinating it for the full time. I also didn't add salt as other reviews suggested & it was perfect for us as we're low salt eaters. Thanks for this recipe Evie, it's a keeper!

Delicious! I don't like very salty food so I left out the 1/4 tsp of salt and it was perfect.

This is going in our regular rotation. I served it with lemon rice and string beans. It was a simple yet delish meal. Thanks! I only marinated it for three hours and that was plenty, so it's still a great recipe for those of us that don't always plan ahead.

I followed the recipe perfectly but my chicken never browns like GaylaJ 's picture. Also, the flavor lacks something. I had to add chili sauce and ginger to make it taste better. The chicken was moist and tender though. Thank you for sharing anyway.
