Spicy Apple Cider-Glazed Chicken Thighs image

This easy, stovetop main dish uses apple cider to simmer boneless, skinless chicken thighs and onions. Add some sambal oelek or some Sriracha sauce for a bit of heat, or omit for tender palates. Serve over cooked rice, or cauli "rice", if you prefer.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ onion, sliced into rings
1 ⅓ cups apple cider
1 tablespoon sambal oelek
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs into the hot oil and cook until brown, about 4 minutes, then turn and place onion slices on top.
  • Stir together apple cider and sambal oelek; pour over chicken and onions. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken and onion to a plate and keep warm.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and bring the liquid in the skillet to a boil. Continue boiling, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced to about 3/4 cup. Pour over chicken thighs and onions and garnish with fresh chives. Serve warm.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken thighs, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was moist and tender, and the glaze was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the glaze was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
