After trying many pre-made balsamic vinegar marinades I wanted to try and make my own version. As is common with most vinegar “recipes” I’ve also infused  flavors like rosemary fresh from my garden and some hot pepper flakes to give it a mild kick.

This rosemary infused balsamic vinegar gives the chicken a nice darkly-glazed look and imparts a lot of flavor. Try it for a perfect addition to a summer BBQ and know that it will also pair nicely with the requisite hamburgers and hot dogs at a 4th of July celebration.
