Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces Chicken Thighs bone-in, skin-on
- 1 cup Apple Cider fresh, high-quality
- ¼ cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil Vegetable or Olive Oil
For the Slaw
- 4 cups Green Cabbage chopped
- 2 medium Carrots shredded
- 1 medium Apple sliced, preferably Granny Smith
- ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Celery Seeds optional
- ¼ cup Fresh Parsley or Chives
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, mix together apple cider, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a sticky glaze.
- In a skillet, heat a splash of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and sear them skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the chicken thighs and sear for an additional 5 minutes. Carefully pour the sticky glaze over the chicken, reducing the heat to medium-low. Spoon the glaze over the chicken, allowing it to caramelize for another 5-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
- In a large bowl, combine green cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced apple. In a separate small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, celery seeds, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss well to coat.
- Plate the sticky chicken alongside a generous helping of the crisp autumn slaw, allowing the flavors to mingle on your plate!
