Apple Cider Chicken Thighs

Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb chicken thighs, boneless or bone-in
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Golden Delicious or Jonagold apple, peeled, cored, and sliced into ¼-inch pieces
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1-2 tsp chopped fresh thyme (or ¼-1 tsp dried)

Method
 

  1. Serves 4 Place the chicken in a slow cooker, and season it with sea salt and pepper.
  2. Sprinkle the shallot, garlic, sliced apple, and bay leaf over the chicken.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients.
  4. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
  5. Cook the chicken on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. Spoon the sauce over the chicken to serve. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, ladle some into a small pan and simmer it over medium heat until reduced by half, and then serve over the chicken. Doing so thickens the sauce nicely and concentrates the flavors.
