SkinnyMediterranean: Balsamic Roast Chicken

Sharing is caring!

Skinnymixer’s Balsamic Roast Chicken features in the Budget section of the cookbook SkinnyMediterranean.

The Balsamic Roast Chicken is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

Inspired by the homeland of balsamic vinegar, this one’s an easy, family-friendly dinner that feels a little bit special without the fuss. If you don’t like bone-in chicken, you can use boneless chicken breast butterflied or thighs and grill them on the BBQ. 

This recipe was inspired by a cooking class that Grant Neal AKA took in Italy. The brief was a budget, full flavoured recipe that uses a whole chicken.

Now for the recipe we break the whole chicken down into chicken pieces, however you can leave it whole as a roast chicken or even just buy some chicken pieces – chicken thigh, chicken breast or even drumsticks. Just cook accordingly to the cut of chicken that you use.
