How to Do it:

First prepare the chutney.  Place all the chopped apples, onion, dates, nuts and spices in a small sauce pan. 20160903_155530_1472964894318_resized (1)

Pour the wine and vinegar over the top.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the apples are soft and the liquid has been evaporated.  Set aside to cool.  (May be served hot or cold)

For the chicken, slice the onion and place in a layer in the bottom of a baking pan.  Peel the garlic and spread evenly on top of the onions.  Sprinkle with olive oil.

Place the chicken thighs, skin side up, on top of the onions and garlic.  Sprinkle lightly with olive oil, sea salt and lemon pepper.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 40-50 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the chicken has no pink left inside.
