    How to Make Roasted Chicken Thighs with Apples, Gin, and Coriander Seeds

    1. Prepare the Apples

    Begin by coring and thinly slicing one large apple or two small ones. Lay the slices in a 9 × 13-inch pan to create a bed for the chicken.

    2. Combine the Ingredients

    In the same pan, add the chicken, olive oil, white vermouth, gin, garlic, coriander seeds, salt, pepper, and one tablespoon of the fresh herbs. Toss everything together right in the pan, ensuring that the ingredients are spread into one even layer.

    3. Roast the Chicken and Apples

    Place the pan in an oven preheated to 400°F and roast for 20 minutes until the chicken is tender and the apples are caramelized.

    4. Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of fresh herbs over the dish before serving.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Resting

    Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes after roasting to ensure moist and tender meat.

    Oven Roasting

    Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (165°F or 74°C).

    Dry Brining

    Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them with salt at least a few hours before cooking. Ideally, leave them uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. This dry brining method enhances flavor and helps achieve a crispier skin.

    Deglazing

    After searing the chicken, deglaze the pan with gin and scrape up all the fond for a complex and aromatic base.

    Browning the Skin

    Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down in a hot, oven-proof skillet until deeply golden brown for crisp skin.
