Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), quartered
3 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 cup unfiltered apple cider
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper and 1 teaspoon salt.
2. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown chicken, skin side down first, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate, discarding oil.
3. Wipe out skillet, then boil remaining ingredients until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes.

Whisk sauce if separated and season with salt, then pour over chicken.
