• Peel back skin of drumsticks, pat flesh with spice mixture and replace skin.
• Line casserole dish with potatoes, then cover with drumsticks.
• Intersperse with rows of cabbage, apples, onions and carrots.

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH WILTED CABBAGE AND APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Season the chicken all over with the thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking. Working in batches, add the chicken to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium if the skillet starts to get too dark. Transfer the thighs to a baking sheet and roast in the oven until no longer pink near the bone, 10 to 12 minutes more.
• While the chicken bakes, add the cabbage, apples, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper to the same skillet over medium heat. Cook, tossing, until slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, vinegar and sugar and continue to cook until the cabbage is tender, the liquid has reduced slightly and the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley leaves. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Transfer the cabbage and apples and any juices in the skillet to a serving platter and top with the baked chicken thighs.

CABBAGE APPLE AND CHEESE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onion, cabbage, apples, salt and pepper and sautee for about10 minutes until crisp-tender.
• Add milk and cheese and combine well. You maybe tempted to add more milk, BUT, there will be more moisture after it has baked.
• Pour into at least a 2 quart casserole dish. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake additional 10-15 minutes.

CHICKEN APPLE SAUSAGE WITH CABBAGE

Steps:

• Combine butter and olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; add sausages and cook until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir onion, pinch of salt, and pinch of pepper in with the sausages. Cook and stir until onions are slightly translucent and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
• Stir garlic into sausage mixture; cook and stir for 30 seconds.
• Pour apple cider into sausage mixture; increase heat to medium-high and stir in potatoes. Bring to a simmer.
• Pour cabbage over top of sausage mixture and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove sausages and potatoes from the Dutch oven and set aside.
• Increase heat to high, simmer liquid until thick and reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Return potatoes and sausages to the Dutch oven and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with mustard and parsley.
