TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Season the chicken thighs evenly on both sides with salt and black pepper.
3
Over medium-high heat, melt the butter together with olive oil in a oven-safe skillet.
4
Sear the chicken in the skillet skin-side down for 2-3 minutes, then flip and sear for another 2-3 minutes.
5
Remove the skillet from heat, and arrange the sliced apples, cranberries, and rosemary sprigs around the chicken in the skillet.
6
Move the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the apples and cranberries are tender.
MAPLE-BALSAMIC GLAZE
7
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the glaze. In a separate small skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
8
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
9
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup, then season with salt and pepper.
10
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low to simmer. Let it reduce until it becomes slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
SERVING
11
Once the chicken is done roasting, brush the chicken with the maple-balsamic glaze, allowing it to rest in the oven for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
12
Place the roasted chicken on a serving platter, surround with the caramelized apples and cranberries. Drizzle remaining glaze over the top before serving. Enjoy!
