Chicken Normandy

Chicken Normandy

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp butter
2 cooking apples (Fuji or Jonagold are perfect for this dish, do NOT use a red delicious), cored and sliced into wedges (you can peel or not)
Flour for dredging
4 whole chicken legs (with thighs)
Salt
1 large onion, peeled, sliced lengthwise (root to top) into wedges
1/2 cup brandy (apple brandy or Calvados if you have it)
2 cups apple cider (the cloudy type)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup cream


Sprinkle salt over the chicken pieces and let sit for 20 minutes at room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat 2 Tbsp of the butter in a large, oven-proof sauté pan over medium heat. Add the apple slices and sauté until they turn a little brown around the edges, turning occasionally. Sprinkle the apple slices with a little salt. Set aside on paper towels to drain.
