Ingredients
Scale
4 pieces of chicken thighs or breasts (bone-in preferred)
1 cup of apple cider
1 medium onion, sliced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons of fresh thyme
2 tablespoons of butter
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and sear for about 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden.
Once the chicken is seared, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the apple cider, scraping any flavorful bits stuck to the pan. Allow the liquid to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet and add the thyme. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken with the sauce drizzled on top.
