Recipe Summary Oktoberfest Chicken And Red Cabbage
I adore Bavarian cuisine! And since there's no good German food here (while I lived in San Francisco, my husband and I ate at wonderful German/Hungarian restaurants there), I have to make my own...This recipe is crazy simple.Ingredients | Pickled Red Cabbage Recipe Nz4 slices bacon1 tablespoon bacon drippings¼ cup all-purpose flour½ teaspoon kosher salt½ teaspoon smoked paprika2 pounds skinless chicken thighs1 red onion, sliced1 large apple, cored and sliced1 head red cabbage, cored and sliced½ cup red wine vinegar¼ cup dry red wine¼ cup brown sugar½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Place bacon in a large oven-safe or cast-iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. When cool, crumble bacon; leave bacon drippings in the skillet.Whisk flour, kosher salt, and smoked paprika together in a bowl. Coat chicken thighs in the seasoned flour and brown on both sides in the hot bacon fat over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side; transfer chicken to a plate. Drain bacon grease except for 1 tablespoon; cook and stir onion and apple until onion is translucent and apple is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir red cabbage and bacon into onion-apple mixture, sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt, and cook, stirring often, until cabbage is softened, 5 to 8 minutes.Pour red wine vinegar and red wine into skillet.

An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).Info | Pickled Red Cabbage Recipe Nzprep: 20 mins cook: 1 hr 10 mins total: 1 hr 30 mins Servings: 8 Yield: 8 servings
