Step-by-Step Instructions
- Season the chicken legs with salt and pepper. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Lower the heat and add the diced onion, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and half of the diced apple, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over sautéed mixture and stir for 2 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet and add Dijon mustard, bay leaves, thyme, and sage, stirring to coat the chicken.
- Pour in apple cider and chicken stock, stirring to deglaze the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Melt butter in a separate pan and add remaining apple wedges. Cook for 5-7 minutes until caramelized. Remove from heat.
- Stir in light cream during the last 15 minutes of cooking the chicken. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the chicken warm, garnished with fresh thyme and caramelized apple wedges. Enjoy with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
