Herb-Marinated Grilled Chicken Thighs
Vinegar is a chef’s secret weapon. The acidity of vinegar can brighten up the flavor of just about any dish and take them to the next level. For meats, it even helps keep them tender and juicy.
This recipe gets a lot of its flavor from balsamic vinegar, a kind of vinegar that’s produced from grape pulp and stored in wooden barrels for years. While you likely know its acidic taste, did you also know it offers a lot of health benefits?
Balsamic vinegar contains antioxidants that block substances which raise your body’s cholesterol levels and it contains probiotics that can regulate your appetite. It also may limit blood sugar spike, which is helpful especially for those with diabetes. Try this at your next cookout!
