1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, thyme and balsamic vinegar; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
2. In shallow baking dish or large bowl, combine the marinade and chicken; marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. Drain the chicken, collect the marinade.

Tips for the baked chicken recipe
You can use a Ziploc bag to marinate the chicken. This way you’ll be able to “massage” the marinade into the chicken meat for better flavor.
