We had a couple of days last week that were absolutely gorgeous. Those warm days necessitated grilling. This was one of those days when I started pulling stuff out of the produce drawer in the fridge and out of the pantry.
I used bone-in skin-on chicken thighs; however, I would think you can use any cut of chicken you prefer and it will be just as delicious!
In a medium bowl combine 1 teaspoon orange zest, the juice of one orange, the juice of one lime, 3/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, 1/2 olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Place 4 to 6 chicken thighs in the bag and seal it. Turn to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated, then refrigerate, turning occasionally, for 2 to 4 hours.
Preheat a grill to medium-low and spray the grates lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on grill skin side down. Season the underside of the chicken well with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken about 8 to 10 minutes, turn over and continue to cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove from the heat and serve while hot.

GRILLING is the best food ever! I can't wait to get started with a little more of it and you have some wonderful recipes for that!
You cant beat a citrus and balsamic marinade. It looks delish! I cant wait till its warm enough to grill here!! Flowers are so pretty, breath of fresh air!
I can't wait to get our grill fired up!!!
That chicken looks great! I can't wait until it's warm enough to grill here, it should be in the next month or so.
Your chicken looks sooo good! I am loving these warmer days!
Grilling means warm weather and that sounds good to me. The chicken looks very good too!!!
That looks awesome and what a fantastic blog you have going here!!
I'm orginally from Mobile, Alabama and I got sick of hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes and outrunning hurricanes. Are you happy there where you've relocated?
If you have a moment or two of your life that you'd care to waste, please visit me at my blog and do say hello.
Take good care and......

Are those flowers in your yard? Lucky you. I have mud in my yard. Your marinade sounds terrific. For my money, there's nothing like bone-in chicken thighs for flavor and juiciness!
That sounds tasty and springy, we are having crummy weather, but I am making this when it warms up!
The citrus and balsamic marinade sounds awesome for these grilled chicken! Great recipe!
Mmm, that looks delicious. We grill year round, which is awesome, but there's something about grilling when it's warming up that screams Spring. Congrats on being Saucy, I'm here from SITS.
my recipe book is getting overstuffed with all these great recipes and ideas.
Lovely, lovely, lovely, first photo. I'm ready to see more of those.
And thanks so much for stopping by and supporting Burp and Slurp's Guest Blog :)

This is gorgeous -- I LOVE the mixed citrus flavors!! There is nothing better than those first few days of good grilling weather.
yay! another great chicken recipe! I love how versatile it is!
can I use soy sauce instead of the balsamic?
I have a website that has recipes that we love at our house :)
This looks delicious and I even have thighs in the freezer. Now if only the snow would melt off our deck!
The marinade sounds wonderful - I love all the flavors.
I wish we had grilling weather here - it's dark, cold and rainy today.
The weather is supposed to be nice this week. We grill year around! In fact, my Handyman is doing ribeyes tonight. Hopefully, I'll get a pic of one. :)
I'm so glad you posted this. I need more healthy chicken recipes! I fry everything!
Hi Katherine! I'm shopping around this week for a new blog design. I love yours, it's so soothing. Did you hire someone to do yours? Who did you go with? My e-mail is Joiecancook@gmail.com. Thanks in advance for any info!
I love grilling and pretty much would love to get away with it each night. I am enjoying some warmer weather here too and I hope it stays for a while. The chicken looks fantastic!
