Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it or lining it with foil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional red pepper flakes.
Place chicken thighs skin side up in the prepared baking dish. Pour the glaze over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, basting halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving.
