How to Make Baked Apple Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease or spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  3. Arrange 1.5 lbs of bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, breasts, or a combination) in the prepared casserole dish.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour the apple mixture evenly over the chicken pieces.
  6. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Larger pieces may take longer.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
