Sweet and Tangy Chicken Thighs

Submitted by The Hungry Hutch

"The chicken gets cooked in a lovely sweet and tangy sauce that works magic. (The sauce can be used for other proteins as well.) In the picture I serve it with oregano scented rice and roasted green beans."

3. Add the chicken and toss to coat; turn skin side up and place in oven; bake 40 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through.

Great sauce and tasty chicken -did not need much extra time at 500 so watch carefully. I used skinless so it never did get crisp but it was delish' I tried the green beans as well but would only give 1 star to them maybe I overcooked them : {

I skinned my thighs and took off as much visible fat as I could. I did 500 for 10 minutes. Although the sauce ingredients seemed a crazy mix, it was quite good; and the chicken was moist, tender and delicious. I paired the chicken with a roasted butternut squash/corn/red onion/Craisin medley that also contained cayenne pepper.
