• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 1-1/2 pounds), skin removed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 medium Fuji
• Gala apples, coarsely chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/4 cup apple cider or juice
• 1 tablespoon honey

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown chicken thighs on both sides; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker; top with apples.
2. Add onion to same skillet; cook and stir over medium heat 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in barbecue sauce, apple cider and honey; increase heat to medium-high. Cook 1 minute, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Pour over chicken and apples. Cook, covered, on low 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours or until chicken is tender.
