4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

This was delicious and very easy to make. I typically don't enjoy chicken thighs as the main course, but with the apples, sage, and garlic, it was surprisingly tasty. I didn't expect them to get so much flavor from being on top of the apple mixture, but they certainly did, in addition to the freshly ground pepper and sea salt with which I seasoned them. Have saved this recipe and will serve it again!

I love this recipe, but I added about 1/2cup of apple cider to keep everything moist.

This is a wonderful recipe. I used bone-in thighs and browned them first because I like the flavor browning adds. With the bone-in I still roasted for 25 mins. I served with Cider and Bacon sauce from this recipe http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1011270&cookbook_id=4837733 I used the browning pan to make the sauce...everything is better with bacon. It added the final flavor touch. Next time I may add butternut squash or parnips to the roasting pan. I think they would add an interesting flavor kick. I also served with cider carrots. Everyone raved...it was a suprisingly elegant weekend night meal.

Not terrible

I'm not sure we will be making this again. I didn't find that the apples gave the chicken that much flavor. My husband was sweet and ate it, but if he doesn't ask for seconds, it's not going in to the rotation.

DANG, THIS WAS REALLY GOOD AND REALLY EASY. I made jasmine rice and stirred the apples into it, and it was fantastic.

I used chicken leg quarters cut, baked for 30 min....yummy, I chopped the apples after peeling in a food processor making the pieces small so they didn't need mashing.
