Instructions
Instructions
1
Pré-aqueça o forno a 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. This step ensures even baking from the start and protects your pan.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and minced garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, if using. Mix well until you get a homogeneous sauce. The professional technique is to emulsify well to combine the flavors.
3
Add the chicken thighs, apple wedges, and red onion petals to the bowl with the sauce. With your hands or a spatula, gently fold all the ingredients, ensuring they are well covered. This complete coating is crucial for the flavor.
4
Transfer the chicken, apples, and onion to the prepared baking sheet, spreading in a single layer. Make sure they are not crowded, as this allows hot air to circulate. The most important tip is not to overcrowd the baking sheet for a perfect golden brown.
5
Place the fresh rosemary sprigs between the ingredients on the baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning the chicken and apples halfway through. The chicken should be golden and cooked through.
6
To finish, if you want a more intense golden color, place under the grill for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully so as not to burn. Remove from the oven, drizzle everything with the sauce accumulated in the baking sheet, and serve immediately.

Chef Tips
- Seque os pedaços de frango com papel absorvente antes de misturar com o molho para que a marinada adira com firmeza.
- Escolha maçãs de textura firme tipo Fuji ou Gala para que mantenham a estrutura após 30 minutos de forno.
- Espalhe os ingredientes em camada única sem sobreposição para que o ar quente circule e asse por igual.
Variations
- Add 200 grams of carrots cut into diagonal slices to the roasting pan to enrich the dish with vegetables.
- Replace the rosemary with sprigs of fresh thyme or sage leaves for a more earthy herbal profile.
- Add whole pecans in the last 10 minutes of baking to get a crispy texture over the apples.
Substitutions
- The boneless chicken thighs and drumsticks can be substituted with chicken breast cut into thick pieces.
- Dijon mustard can be replaced by traditional yellow mustard mixed with a spoonful of vinegar.
- Pure honey can be replaced with cane molasses or maple syrup, maintaining the same volume of the recipe.
How to Store
Conserve as sobras em pote hermético na geladeira por até 4 dias. Reaqueça no forno a 170°C por 12 minutos para restaurar a maciez da carne e a textura das maçãs sem ressecar o molho de mel.
Can You Freeze It?
The chicken and sauce can be frozen in a closed container for up to 2 months. Note that apples and onions lose firmness after thawing, resulting in a softer texture than when freshly baked.
What to Serve With
Serve accompanied by mashed potatoes with butter, rice with nuts, or loose Moroccan couscous. A green leaf salad with a mild citrus dressing balances the sweetness of the caramelized apples.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the chicken casserole with bone-in, skin-on chicken?
Yes, but add about 15 to 20 extra minutes of baking to ensure complete cooking to the bone.
How to prevent honey from burning on the baking sheet?
Maintain the temperature at 200°C and position the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven, lining with parchment paper.
Can I marinate the chicken overnight?
Yes, marinating in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours allows the chicken to deeply absorb the aromas of mustard, garlic, and rosemary.
Should the apples be peeled before roasting?
Keep the apple peels sanitized; the crust helps to retain the shape of the segments during cooking at high temperature.
