Hello, this is chef john from foodwishes.com with apple cider chicken. That's right!

00:07

If you like apple and you like sweet and sour chicken, and

00:11

you like being told what to do, you should definitely make this simple and delicious dish as soon as possible.

00:17

And to get started, we'll take a couple boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and

00:22

we will season them very generously on both sides with a mixture of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a little pinch of cayenne,

00:29

or at least that's what i'm using. As long as you include salt, you can season this any way you want. And

00:35

by the way, these could be boneless, skinless chicken thighs or other chicken parts, whether they have bones and skin or not, right?

00:42

Your cooking times will change, but the recipe will pretty much be the same. And once our chicken,

00:47

seasoned, we will set that aside for a few minutes while we melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat.

00:52

And once it's melted, i'm going to toss in some whole sage leaves, which we will sort of fry and

00:57

crisp up in the butter.

00:59

And while we will probably use a couple of these leaves to garnish with later, what we're mostly doing is flavoring the butter and

01:06

preparing it for our chicken. And whenever we're frying stage like this, you know you're getting close when the leaves stop bubbling.

01:12

All right, that means the moisture has been cooked out, and

01:15

you will also see they're starting to take on some color, right?
