Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    6 thigh, bone and skin removed Chicken Thigh
    1 serving *Diet Dr. Pepper (12 oz)
    2 can (6 oz) Tomato Paste
    4 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    2 serving Garlic - minced (1 tsp) (by ELLERCADE)
    1 tbsp minced onions (by GRANDCRACKER)
    1 tbsp Butter, unsalted

Tips

This comes out like a barbecue sauce but with no sugar. I sometimes use Liquid Smoke to give that BBQ sauce kick.


Directions

In a large skillet, melt butter and begin to saute garlic and onions over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and sear both sides for about a minute each. Add tomato paste, vinegar and Diet Dr. Pepper. Stir to combine, making sure chicken thighs are covered with sauce. Add water if necessary. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover, let simmer for about 30 minutes. Then uncover, raise to high heat until a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken reads 165. Cool slightly and serve.
