Everything should be combined and marinated overnight in a zip-top bag. My husband and his friends all thought these were great as leftovers because they were quick and delicious. The first time, we served it with Trader Joe’s® brown rice; in the pictures, it is shown with Trader Joe’s® country potatoes. Both were a success! Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ cups water
- ½ cup pearl onions
- 3 tablespoons pickling spice
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
- 1 cube beef bouillon, crushed
- 5 large bay leaves
- 12 (6 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Instructions
- Combine Worcestershire sauce, water, pearl onions, pickling spice, peppercorns, garlic, bouillon, and bay leaves in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Empty the contents of the resealable bag into a casserole dish. Turn chicken thighs so the skin is facing up.
- Bake in the preheated oven, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Turn chicken thighs once more so the skin is facing up. Turn on the broiler to high and broil until golden, about 2 minutes.
- Add greater quantities of any or all ingredients according to your tastes to make it richer or more savory. My husband and I used the marinade mix to drizzle over the chicken once plated, our guests loved it as is.
- For extra flavor, spoon 2 cups of the cooked marinade from the casserole dish into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and large pinch of beef base or a beef bouillon cube to serve alongside the chicken.
