Ingredients

• 2 pounds skin-on chicken thighs
• 8 ounces baby carrots
• 1 teaspoon freeze-dried dill
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 medium head cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1.5 cups apple cider
• 0.25 cup stone-ground mustard

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Serve chicken with carrots and cabbage.

Step 3

Whisk apple cider, mustard, dill, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl until well combined. Add chicken thighs; toss until evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 4

Remove chicken from marinade, shake off excess, and place on a plate. Pour remaining marinade into a large skillet. Add carrots and cabbage to the skillet; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until carrots have softened, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, cook chicken thighs on the preheated grill until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near but not touching the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a serving plate; rest for 5 minutes.
