Roasted Cranberry Balsamic Chicken

A delicious holiday twist on a classic comfort food!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. butter
• ½ c. fresh cranberries
• 1/3 c. balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 sprigs rosemary
• 2 tsp. thyme leaves
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar
• Zest of 1 orange

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until the skin is golden and crispy, about 4 minutes. Remove chicken from heat and place on plate, skin side up.
2. Melt butter in the same skillet. Add cranberries, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar and orange zest. Return chicken to skillet and scatter herbs all around. Simmer until the liquid begins to thicken and the cranberries start to soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
