Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and black pepper. Dredge them lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onion and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the apple cider vinegar, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits. Let the vinegar cook down for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the chicken stock, fresh rosemary sprigs, and honey, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up, making sure the liquid does not completely cover the skin. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken cook for 20 minutes over low heat until fully cooked through and tender.

Step 8

Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly. Allow the sauce to reduce and thicken for 3-5 minutes while basting the chicken with the sauce occasionally.

Step 9

Discard the rosemary sprigs and serve the chicken hot with the sauce spooned over the top. Consider pairing with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
