- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 cups apple cider
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Peel the onion and garlic, then roughly chop them and add them to a large ziplock bag (or tupperware).
- Add in the apple cider, olive oil, fresh thyme, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar and black pepper.
- Smoosh everything together until well combined and then add in the chicken thighs.
- Carefully turn the ziplock bag over so the chicken is well coated and then place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours (up to 24 hours).
- Preheat the grill or griddle pan. Cook the chicken over a medium high heat for 8 minutes until you have a nice charred crust. Flip the chicken and cook for a further 8 minutes.
- Check the chicken is cooked through and then serve with a garnish of fresh time and some slices of lemon.
