This delicious recipe combines tender chicken thighs with a flavorful glaze inspired by Heinz 57 Sauce. The sauce offers a perfect blend of tangy, savory, and slightly sweet notes, making it a perfect complement to the juicy chicken. This dish is easy to prepare and provides a delightful balance of traditional flavors with a creative twist, ensuring a satisfying meal for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
• 1/2 cup Heinz 57 Sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, combine Heinz 57 Sauce, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.
3. Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-lock bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
5. Flip the chicken thighs over, pour the reserved marinade over them, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
