Method
 

How to Make Sticky Apple Cider Chicken
  1. Season the chicken thighs with kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, evenly coating each piece.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until beautifully browned.
  3. Add apple cider, honey, and water to the pan, stirring gently to combine these ingredients into a luscious glaze.
  4. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the glaze thickens.
  5. In a bowl, combine apples, diced celery, red onion, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, and minced garlic to whip up the autumn slaw.
  6. Serve the sticky chicken alongside the vibrant autumn slaw.
