Honey-Mustard Chicken and Apples
- 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, cut into large chunks
- 2 cooking apples (such as Cortland), cut into chunks
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 to 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until golden, about 6 minutes.
- Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes, then transfer to a plate.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
- Add the onion and apples to the skillet and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes.
- Mix the broth with the mustard, then add to the skillet and bring to a boil.
- Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, in the skillet.
- Transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Mix the butter and flour to form a paste.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken, apples and onion to plates.
- Bring the pan juices to a simmer, whisk in about half of the butter-flour mixture and boil to thicken, 2 minutes.
- Continue to cook, adding more of the butter-flour mixture as needed to make a slightly thick gravy.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley.
