Skillet Chicken Thighs With Balsamic Glaze and Fresh Cherry Salsa
File this cooking method under “Smartest Back-Pocket Chicken Recipes.” Roasting the thighs in a hot oven means you can get evenly cooked, juicy meat and still have crispy skin on top, all without having to splatter your cooktop. While the chicken cooks, you’ll make a quick, buttery balsamic glaze that balances the rich chicken and a tart cherry salsa. Speaking of the salsa, it’s the kind of fresh take on a side that is as good a match for chicken as it is with white fish, steak, or even crispy tofu.
