For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the marinade. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the chicken thighs in a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop or bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables in the marinade, such as Brussels sprouts, potatoes, or onions.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider, stone-ground mustard, dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken. (1 hour minimum)
03
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-450°F). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
04
StepRemove the marinated chicken thighs from the refrigerator. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate, reserving the remaining marinade in the bowl. (2 minutes)
05
StepPour the reserved marinade into a large skillet or saucepan. Add the baby carrots and thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. (10 minutes)
06
StepOnce boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the carrots are tender, approximately 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. (30 minutes)
07
StepWhile the carrots and cabbage are simmering, place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. (8-10 minutes)
08
StepFlip the chicken thighs and continue grilling for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (8-10 minutes)
09
StepRemove the grilled chicken thighs from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. (5 minutes)
10
StepServe the grilled chicken thighs hot, accompanied by the braised carrots and cabbage. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the chicken for added flavor. Enjoy!
