The flavor in these is spectacular.
I used Honey Crisp apples, which are great right now, and they held up perfectly.
Super easy to make.
I could eat this stuffing as is.
In fact, with a little hit of red wine vinegar or balsamic and maybe
a little cinnamon, it would be great as a chutney with chicken, pork chops,
or whatever you wanted.
And here are the stuffed thighs.
These drippings were a great touch drizzled over the finished dish.
You should give it a try. I know you won't be disappointed.

These look absolutely divine. I love cooking with chicken thighs. They have such a great flavor. Would you consider adding them to my blog hop?
