Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon ghee or olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt, to taste
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen (thawed) raspberries
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • 1 pinch dried thyme

  2. Add ghee (or oil) to pan and, once ghee is melted, add chicken thighs to skillet skin down. Let cook for 10 minutes, without touching, or until very golden and crispy. Flip chicken thighs and place pan in oven. Let cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, blend raspberries, garlic, thyme, and balsamic vinegar in the food processor or blender. Salt to taste and add honey to taste, if desired.
  4. After 10 minutes in the oven, carefully remove the pan from the oven and use tongs to remove chicken thighs. Let rest on a plate for 5 minutes then serve with raspberry-balsamic sauce.
