  2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, pour the apple cider glaze over the chicken, and spoon it gently until it caramelizes.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and thin apple slices. In a separate small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, celery seeds, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over slaw and toss.
  5. Serve Sticky Apple Cider Chicken alongside the crisp autumn slaw.
