Sticky Sweet Balsamic Chicken

This dish pairs well with pasta (gluten-free of course) and quick sauteed greens.  Simply marinate chicken for a couple of hours and then roast until cooked through and caramelized.

Sticky Sweet Balsamic Chicken

Serves 4

12 chicken drumsticks

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup Tamari soy sauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons honey

7 sprigs of rosemary

7 cloves of garlic, smashed

Place the drumsticks in a baking dish.  In a small bowl whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Tamari, brown sugar and honey.  Drizzle over the drumsticks and turn each piece to coat well.  Toss in the rosemary sprigs and garlic.  Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  

Once marinated for a few hours, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.  Roast the chicken uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until caramelized and cooked through to the bone.  Pull out of oven and brush the cooked marinated juices over the chicken pieces.

Serve with your favorite greens and pasta, or one of our favorites risotto.

Buon Appetito!
