Ingredients
- 8 x bone-in chicken thighs - (6 to 7 ounce ea) Salt to taste Freshly-cracked black pepper to taste

- Comments: Jimmy Burke, my longtime friend and the first real chef I worked for, taught me one of the golden brown rules of cooking: Sometimes less is more. From him I learned which simple flavors presented in a clear uncluttered way are really good. He always said, "Whatever you're going to do, whether it's a hamburger or possibly foie gras, use the best stuff and do it right." Heading his advice, here we stay simple and feature the classic Italian combination of fresh herbs, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
