Ingredients
- 1 cup of rich red wine vinegar
- 1 cup of luscious brown sugar
- Half a pound of savory bacon, sliced into small pieces, or adjust to your liking
- A generous sprinkling of liquid smoke flavoring, tailored to your taste
- Four hearty red potatoes, cut into quarters
- Three tablespoons of fragrant olive oil, split into portions
- A pinch of salt and a dash of freshly ground black pepper, according to your preference
- Three vibrant Red Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- Four cloves of garlic, minced for an aromatic touch
- Four tender skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- A quarter cup of pure water
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for a perfect start. In a saucepan, combine the tangy red wine vinegar with the sweet brown sugar, allowing them to meld together until the mixture slightly thickens and the sugar completely dissolves in the heat. This process typically takes around 5 to 10 minutes on a gentle simmer.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, crisp up the bacon to perfection, infusing it with a delightful smoky flavor by adding three dashes of liquid smoke during the cooking process. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off the excess grease.
Step 3
Now, it's time to prepare the potatoes by placing them skin-side down in a baking dish. Drizzle a generous tablespoon of olive oil over the potatoes and season them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Pop the dish in the preheated oven and let the potatoes bake until they turn tender, usually around 20 minutes.
Step 4
As the potatoes bake, combine the cooked bacon and diced apples into the vinegar-brown sugar mixture, infusing the dish with a delightful blend of flavors. Let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes after adding garlic, allowing the ingredients to meld and intensify.
Step 5
In a separate skillet, heat up the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper before placing it in the hot oil, searing it for about 7 minutes on each side. To enhance the smoky essence, sprinkle a few shakes of liquid smoke over the chicken and add water before covering the skillet to cook the chicken through. A cooking time of approximately 10 minutes should suffice, ensuring the chicken is no longer pink in the center, with an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when checked with a thermometer.
Step 6
To serve, elegantly place the cooked chicken on a serving plate and generously top it with the flavorful apple-bacon mixture. Arrange the beautifully baked potatoes alongside the chicken, creating a visually appealing and scrumptious dish that is sure to delight your taste buds.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your chicken thighs in a sealed container or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap to maintain their freshness and flavor.
- 2. Store your apples in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator to prevent them from ripening too quickly.
