Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced

- Flip the chicken and cook for 3 more minutes, then remove from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes.
