Balsamic Molasses Chicken

Like sweet and sour chicken but with a deep, darker glaze from using balsamic and molasses rather than white vinegar and sugar. 

Ingredients:

4 chicken legs, split

salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup molasses

3 tsps minced garlic

1 tsp minced ginger

1 cup chicken broth

After cutting the chicken legs in half pat them dry with a paper towel. Salt and pepper them then brown in vegetable oil on medium heat in an oven safe skillet. Sear all sides then add the garlic for 1 minute before adding the molasses and balsamic. Cook until thin syrup consistency, 4-5 minutes.

Next pour the broth into the pan along with the ginger and boil for 3 minutes.

Bake in a 350°F oven for 25 minutes. Turn the pieces over and bake another 20 minutes. Finish by boiling on the stove top 2-3 minutes then serve.
