Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a Le Creuset 3.5-quart braiser, heat some oil over medium heat. Add sliced fennel and cook until softened.
3. Add minced garlic and ginger to the braiser and cook until fragrant.
4. Add chicken pieces to the braiser, searing them until golden brown on all sides.
5. Remove the chicken from the braiser and set aside.
6. In the same braiser, add sliced onions and cook until caramelized.
7. Pour in apple cider and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the braiser.
8. Return the chicken to the braiser, nestling it into the liquid and aromatics.
9. Cover the braiser and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
10. Remove from the oven and serve the chicken with the aromatic sauce spooned over the top.
