Ingredients

  • 6 chicken legs about 1 ½ lbs (Feel free to use whatever parts of the chicken your family enjoys)
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoon minced garlic 3 cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and pepper for the marinade.
  • Pour the marinade into a large zipper bag along with the chicken legs.
  • Seal and shake to coat.
  • Place the bag in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight, turning several times.
  • Remove Chicken from bag.
  • Pour the remaining marinade from the zipper bag into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened; about 15 minutes.
