Apple Glazed Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
-
6 Servings
-
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
-
1 tsp sea salt
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1/4 tsp paprika
-
2 Tbsp salted butter
-
1 cup apple juice (100% juice)
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
2 medium gala apples
-
1 chopped shallot
-
2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
Directions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, I use my 360 cookware stainless steel pan.
While pan is heating rinse and pat dry chicken thighs. Make sure to remove any excess moisture to get a crisp edge on the chicken.
Mix together sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning over chicken on both sides until evenly seasoned.
Add butter to hot pan and let melt. Add chicken, be sure not to touch for 5-7 minutes until it is crispy on the side and easily comes up from the pan. If it is sticking it is not ready to flip. Flip over on the other side and do the same. Once cooked for at least 5-7 minutes on both side remove and add to a plate, loosely cover and set aside.
Add an additional 2 tablespoons of butter to same pan and work up any browned bits that formed on pan. Add in chopped shallots and let cook until lightened in color.
Add in brown sugar and apples. Cooking until apples have softened. Pour in apple juice and let simmer. Stirring for around 5-10 minutes until the liquid begins to thicken. Add chicken back in and coat with a large spoon.
Remove from heat and serve chicken, spooning apples and sauce over top. Garnish with fresh thyme is desired.
