Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cups green cabbage shredded
  • 1 apple julienned
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken thighs in apple cider, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and thyme for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Place the marinated chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the remaining marinade over them.
  4. Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. While the chicken is baking, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, julienned apple, grated carrot, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  6. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven, letting it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve the sticky apple cider chicken alongside the autumn slaw, drizzling any leftover pan juices over the top.
