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.
  • Notes

    Apple Cider Chicken is a flavorful dish that combines tender chicken with the sweet warmth of apple cider, perfect for any occasion.
