Notes

  • Tip 1: Line the baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Tip 2: Make sure you rub the balsamic glaze on every part of the chicken.
  • Tip 3: Flip the chicken over halfway through the baking time to make sure it cooks evenly.
  • Tip 4: Any leftover glaze can be poured over the chicken as is, or you can simmer it to thicken it up.
