Cooking Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine apple cider, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and sear skin-side down for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  3. Pour the apple cider glaze over the seared chicken, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 10-12 minutes, spooning sauce over thighs occasionally.
  4. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and apple slices. Drizzle with apple cider vinegar and sprinkle with celery seeds, salt, and pepper. Toss gently.
  5. Serve the sticky apple cider chicken on a dish with the crisp autumn slaw on the side or underneath.
