Ingredients
- 1 orange juiced
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup apple butter plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 2 ½ pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken (thighs or drumsticks)
- 1 red onion sliced
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes halved
- 2 apples sliced
- fresh chopped thyme for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the orange juice, grainy mustard, olive oil, apple butter, salt, black pepper, fresh rosemary, and parsley. Transfer mixture to a large ziplock bag along with the chicken pieces and seal tightly. Gently toss to coat and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

- Bake, uncovered, for approximately 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads between 165-175 degrees F and the potatoes are fully cooked and crispy.
- Remove baking sheet from the oven and brush the top of each piece of chicken with additional apple butter and sprinkle with fresh chopped thyme.
