Equipment

  • 12-inch cast iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 4-5 Bone-In Chicken Thighs
  • 2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Fresh Thyme
  • 2 tbsps Fresh Rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 Red Onion, sliced
  • 1-2 Honeycrisp Apples, sliced

  • 2 tbsps Dijon Mustard
  • 3 cloves Garlic, diced finely
  • Additional 2-3 Rosemary Sprigs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, fresh thyme and rosemary, and salt and pepper. Mix together in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Allow pan to get hot and add chicken. Sear on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove from heat and add sliced red onions and apples to the pan. Garnish with a little rosemary. Add to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Add chicken and apples back to the pan and spoon sauce over chicken.
