Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Combine red wine vinegar and brown sugar in a saucepan; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir bacon until crisp, adding 3 dashes liquid smoke while cooking, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and drain bacon grease.
- Place potatoes, skin-side down, in a baking dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Mix apples and bacon into vinegar-brown sugar mixture; bring to a boil. Add garlic, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in the hot oil; cook for 7 minutes. Flip chicken;add water and a few shakes liquid smoke. Cover skillet and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS AND RED POTATOES
with winter still trying to hang on, i wanted to try to get in some more comfort meals. it seems like braising is made for winter. slow cooking in a dutch oven with the house smelling good..my kinda thing. when i took out some chicken thighs this morning and bought some gorgeous red potatoes that were on sale yesterday, i was thinking more along the lines of roasted thighs and baked potatoes. but then i started thinking about braising the chicken and somehow incorporating those red beauties i just bought. i didn't just want to toss them in the dish, i wanted them golden and caramelized. sometimes, i am thankful for my imagination running wild on me. i was not sure if it would work but i thought, why not sear the potatoes in the chicken drippings and then let them sop up the juices while they bake? the potatoes listened very well. they did their job wonderfully. and you know what? i think they kinda enjoyed it. i think one of the potatoes was smiling at me while i was photographing the food. uh oh. there goes my imagination again. :)
