Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Chicken Thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup Cranberry Sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by patting your chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the chicken thighs skin side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the chicken over and sear the other side for about 3 minutes before adding fresh rosemary and pouring the cranberry sauce over the chicken.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Spoon some sauce over the chicken halfway through baking, then allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using seasoned salt or garlic powder. Pair with mashed potatoes or roasted veggies.
