How To Make cider chicken

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Step 2
  In a deep ovenproof skillet with a lid, brown bacon over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off any fat in the pan.
• Step 3
  Add 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut oil to the pan and brown chicken over high heat, about 3 minutes per side.
• Step 4
  Transfer the chicken to a plate, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Step 5
  Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the pan, reduce heat to low and add onions. Cook stirring occasionally, until the onions are very tender and golden, about 25 minutes.
• Step 6
  Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Step 7
  Pour in cider and brandy and bring to a boil. Add prunes, bouquet garni and the reserved bacon and chicken.
• Step 8
  Cover and bake until the chicken is very tender and no longer pink inside, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Step 9
  Remove the bouquet garni. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
• Step 10
