Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

02

Step

Combine red wine vinegar and brown sugar in a saucepan; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

03

Step

Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bacon until crisp, adding 3 dashes liquid smoke while cooking, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and drain bacon grease.

04

Step

Place potatoes, skin-side down, in a baking dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over potatoes and season with salt and pepper.

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes.

06

Step

Mix apples and bacon into vinegar-brown sugar mixture; bring to a boil. Add garlic, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

07

Step

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in the hot oil; cook for 7 minutes. Flip chicken;add water and a few shakes liquid smoke. Cover skillet and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

08

Step

Place chicken on a serving plate and top with apple mixture. Arrange potatoes alongside chicken.

For a deeper flavor, consider using smoked bacon.
Adjust the amount of liquid smoke to your preference.
Feel free to substitute other apple varieties, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
