Get Cooking!
- Preheat your over to 200 degrees C whilst you prep.
- Season your chicken with salt and pepper and then fry until golden in your olive oil (around 10 minutes, flipping occasionally).
- Once golden, put aside on a plate and keep 2 tablespoons of the oil/dripping for later.
- Chop your onion and apples into chunks and fry up in the same pan for around 4 minutes, or until softened. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Mix up your chicken stock and Chain Bridge crunchy honey mustard until well combined. Add to the pan, still containing the onions and apple and bring to the boil.
- If using a cast iron skillet, you can now add the chicken thighs back into the mix, ready to put into the oven. Otherwise, transfer all the prepped ingredients so far into an oven-proof dish and roast for approx. 20 minutes or until your chicken is cooked through.
- Whilst your chicken and apples are roasting, mix the softened butter and plain flour into a paste.
- Remove your dish from the oven and transfer the chicken, apples and onions on to plates, ready to serve. This will be piping hot, so now’s the time to allow it to cool a bit.
- Pop the juices in the pan back into a saucepan or skillet for the stove. Simmer and whisk in half of the butter/flour paste. Allow to thicken for a minute or two and then continue to add the remainder of the paste, as needed, to create a medium thick gravy. Season to taste.
- Once your gravy is to your liking, pour over your plated chicken and apples. Sprinkle parsley on top if you wish and dig in!
