Apple Cider Vinegar Braised Chicken


  • Author: Chef Emy

Description

Tender chicken braised in a tangy apple cider vinegar sauce with aromatic herbs.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 3 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.
  4. Pour in apple cider vinegar and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add thyme and bay leaf, then return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  7. Remove lid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to slightly reduce the sauce.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
