Enjoy tender chicken thighs coated in a sweet and tangy apple cider glaze. This easy recipe is perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add apple cider, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, but adjust the cooking time as needed.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer it a bit longer after removing the chicken.
  • Garnish with extra thyme or chopped parsley if desired.
