Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup Divided
  • 4 chicken thighs Bone-in with skin.
  • 1/2 head red cabbage
  • 1 red onion
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil reduced from 2
  • pepper
  • kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grab a sheet pan with some sides.
  • Thinly slice the cabbage and the red onion and set aside.

For the chicken

  • In a large plastic bag mix 3 tbsp mustard, only 1 tbsp maple syrup, some pepper.
  • Drain or pat chicken dry if needed and toss in bag with mustard mix, smoosh around to cover all pieces.
  • Roast skin side up for 20 minutes until skin has begun to crisp. I tend to turn oven down to 400 if browning too fast. You want the chicken more than halfway cooked here, not just browned skin.
  • Remove from oven and turn oven down to 375. Remove chicken onto a plate and either discard fat or keep it in pan for flavor.

For the cabbage

  • In a large bowl combine the cabbage, 1 red onion, 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, remaining 2 tbsp maple syrup, salt and some pepper.
  • Put cabbage mix into the pan and also return the chicken to the pan, snuggling the chicken into the cabbage, not set on top.

Final cooking

  • Roast 20 to 25 minutes, until cabbage softens, and chicken is fully cooked. Chicken can be removed at any point if overcooking while cabbage cooks on. I like the cabbage still crispy, not too soggy, so I try to cook chicken mostly on first step and then less time on this step to keep cabbage al dente.
  • Add some salt, pepper to taste to cabbage, serve warm.
