Description
Perfectly roasted chicken infused with honey and cranberries, creating a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Combine honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Arrange the marinated chicken in a baking dish, followed by a layer of cranberries and crumbs of feta cheese on top.

Notes
For maximum flavor, choose high-quality honey. Stored leftovers should be placed in an airtight container; they can be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for three months.
