Ingredients for a Flavorful Pomegranate Glazed Chicken
Get ready to impress your family and friends with this delectable pomegranate glazed chicken recipe. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- ¼ cup pomegranate molasses
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Fresh pomegranate seeds for garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions to Create a Flavorful Dish
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the pomegranate molasses, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for more flavor).
- Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the chicken over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and toss with fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve your pomegranate glazed chicken warm, drizzled with any remaining pan sauce. Enjoy this succulent dish with rice or a fresh salad to complete your meal!
