Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a food processor, combine ⅓ cup of fresh cranberries, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary. Blend until smooth.
  2. Place 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in a spacious baking dish. Pour the cranberry marinade generously over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the chicken marinates. After 30 minutes, let the chicken sit at room temperature for an additional 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, brush the tops with olive oil, and season lightly with salt. Scatter leftover fresh cranberries and rosemary over the chicken. Roast uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Once cooked, brush the skin with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and broil for an additional 3 to 10 minutes until crispy.
  6. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes, then serve warm with extra marinade and garnish with sprigs of rosemary.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate chicken thighs for up to 24 hours. Monitor the broil closely to avoid burning and ensure chicken is dry before applying syrup for crispy skin.
