    Super Easy Baked Chicken Thighs

    I just love how the different seasons can provide us with so much variation and inspiration when planning meals. If I had to choose my favorite season, it would have to be fall.

    Super Easy Baked Chicken Thighs

    It’s almost impossible not to appreciate the vibrant colors that can be found in leaves as nature prepares to slow down for a couple of months. This unhurried pace is also transferred to home cooked meals which will often take the form of soups and stews and slow cooked meals.

    And let’s not forget all the wonderful fruits and vegetables which are harvested during this period. I just love concord grapes, for example. I have previously mentioned that I have a few of these grape vines growing in my backyard. In fact, making this Homemade Concord Grape Jelly has become one of my fall rituals.

    As you may have guessed, grape jelly is one of the 7 ingredients required to make these Super Easy Baked Chicken Thighs. Essentially, what you are doing is placing six of the seven ingredients in a saucepan. Once the sauce comes to a boil, you simply pour it over your chicken thighs and bake for about one hour. That’s it! Just like the title indicates, Super Easy Baked Chicken Thighs!
