Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken, skin side down, for 5–7 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, add onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, then add the sliced cabbage. Sauté for 5 minutes until slightly wilted and browned at the edges. Pour in apple cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in brown sugar and red pepper flakes if using. Nestle the chicken back into the pan over the cabbage. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low. Braise for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Uncover, increase heat slightly, and cook 5 more minutes to reduce the liquid and intensify the flavors.
