Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium bone-in chicken thighs 1-1/2 lbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 medium apples peeled cored and sliced in ¼ inch thick slices
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Warm the butter and olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then brown the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Take the pan off the heat and nestle the apple slices, cranberries, and rosemary sprigs around the chicken pieces.
- Transfer the skillet to an oven preheated to 375F and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken reaches 165F and the fruit softens and bursts.
- While the chicken roasts, prepare the maple glaze by heating olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat, then sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- When the chicken is done, pour the maple glaze over it before serving.
Notes
- For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
