I adore Bavarian cuisine! And since there's no good German food here (while I lived in San Francisco, my husband and I ate at wonderful German/Hungarian restaurants there), I have to make my own...This recipe is crazy simple.

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 large apple, cored and sliced
• 1 head red cabbage, cored and sliced
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup dry red wine
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Place bacon in a large oven-safe or cast-iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. When cool, crumble bacon; leave bacon drippings in the skillet.

• Step 3
  Whisk flour, kosher salt, and smoked paprika together in a bowl. Coat chicken thighs in the seasoned flour and brown on both sides in the hot bacon fat over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side; transfer chicken to a plate. Drain bacon grease except for 1 tablespoon; cook and stir onion and apple until onion is translucent and apple is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir red cabbage and bacon into onion-apple mixture, sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt, and cook, stirring often, until cabbage is softened, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Step 4
  Pour red wine vinegar and red wine into skillet. Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon and bring cabbage mixture to a boil; cook until sauce is reduced by half, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Arrange chicken thighs on top of cabbage in the skillet.
• Step 5
  Bake in the preheated oven until cabbage is tender and chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
