Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 2 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the onions and slice them into thick wedges. Core the apples and cut them into similar-sized wedges. Mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the onion and apple wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the rosemary, half of the thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 4

Place the seasoned onions and apples in a large ovenproof baking dish or skillet, spreading them out evenly.

Step 5

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season them on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.75 teaspoon of black pepper, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 4–5 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and sear the other side for 2–3 minutes.

Step 7

Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the apple and onion mixture in the baking dish.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, and lemon juice. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken, apples, and onions.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining rosemary and thyme over the dish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the apples are tender.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the roasted chicken with the caramelized apples and onions, spooning some of the flavorful juices from the dish over the top.
