Description
A heartwarming chicken dish that combines savory and sweet flavors, perfect for cozy fall nights.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, skin-on
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cups apple cider
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh rosemary, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In an oven-safe skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet, then add sliced onions and sauté until translucent.
- Pour in apple cider, honey, and Dijon mustard, stirring until mixed. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up, spoon some sauce over the top, and bake for about 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh rosemary before serving.
Notes
Use high-quality cider for the best flavor and don’t skip the searing for a flavorful crust. Let the chicken rest to retain its juices.
