Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients while the oven warms up.
  2. In a small bowl, mix your dry rub spices and coat the chicken thighs generously.
  3. Heat a large oven-safe sauté pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Using the same pan, sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and sear for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add chopped cabbage to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it wilts slightly.
  6. Incorporate sliced potatoes and chopped onions, then pour in the chicken stock and scrape up any bits stuck to the pan.
  7. Crumble the cooked bacon into the pan and place the seared chicken thighs on top.
  8. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  9. Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the juiciest results, always use bone-in chicken thighs and properly sear them until golden brown. Adjust cooking time for cabbage to avoid mushiness, and taste for seasoning before baking.
