You may use mixed chicken pieces in place of the legs for this recipe, also you can use about 3 to 3-1/2 pounds chicken wings, separated in half at the joint in place of the chicken pieces to serve at a get-togther, see note below --- I always add in a sliced green bell pepper and a sliced onion on the bottom of the pan but that is optional. Serve this with cooked rice. You will *love* this, I promise, the sauce is delicious and the amount is enough for up to 3 pounds of chicken legs or pieces :)

In this article, we will discuss some valuable tips to help you make the perfect apricot glazed chicken drumsticks or drumettes recipe.

Tips for Preparing Chicken Drumsticks or Drumettes

Before you begin preparing your apricot glazed chicken drumsticks or drumettes, you need to make sure that you properly clean and prepare them. Here are some tips:
1. Defrost the Chicken Properly
If you are using frozen chicken drumsticks or drumettes, it is important to defrost them properly before cooking. You can defrost them by leaving them in the refrigerator overnight, or you can place them in cold water for a few hours. Do not defrost them in hot water or in the microwave, as this can lead to uneven cooking and potentially harmful bacteria growth.
2. Remove Excess Fat and Skin
Before cooking the chicken, make sure to remove any excess fat and skin. This will not only reduce the amount of grease in the dish but also make it healthier. You can use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to trim the chicken.
3. Marinate the Chicken
To add more flavor to your apricot glazed chicken drumsticks or drumettes, consider marinating them for a few hours or overnight. You can use a variety of marinades that include acidic ingredients like lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt to tenderize the chicken. Make sure to refrigerate the chicken while marinating.
4. Season the Chicken
Before cooking the chicken, you can season it with your favorite spices and herbs. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin. Make sure to distribute the seasoning evenly over the chicken.

Tips for Making Apricot Glaze

Now that you have prepared the chicken, it is time to make the apricot glaze. Here are some tips:
1. Use Quality Ingredients
To ensure that the apricot glaze is flavorful and delicious, use high-quality ingredients. You will need apricot preserves, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and a few spices. Make sure to use good quality apricot preserves that do not contain any additives or preservatives.
2. Adjust the Sweetness
The sweetness of the apricot glaze can vary depending on the brand of apricot preserves you use. If the glaze is too sweet, you can add more soy sauce or lemon juice to balance the flavors. If it is not sweet enough, you can add more honey or sugar.
3. Use the Right Proportions
To make the perfect apricot glaze, you need to use the right proportions of ingredients. A basic recipe includes 1 cup of apricot preserves, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined.

Tips for Cooking Chicken Drumsticks or Drumettes

After you have prepared the chicken and the apricot glaze, it is time to cook the dish. Here are some tips for cooking chicken drumsticks or drumettes:
1. Choose the Right Cooking Method
There are several ways to cook chicken drumsticks or drumettes, including grilling, baking, or sautéing. Grilling is a great option for a smoky and charred flavor, while baking is ideal for an oven-fried texture. Sautéing is a quick and easy method that works well for smaller pieces.
2. Use the Right Temperature
Regardless of the cooking method you choose, make sure to cook the chicken to the proper temperature. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure that it is safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
3. Baste the Chicken
To add more flavor and moisture to the chicken, baste it with the apricot glaze while cooking. You can brush the glaze on the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking or drizzle it over the chicken before serving.
4. Let the Chicken Rest
After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender and juicy. Cover the chicken with foil to keep it warm.

Conclusion

Making apricot glazed chicken drumsticks or drumettes is a simple and delicious way to impress your guests. By following these valuable tips, you can create a flavorful and juicy dish that everyone will love. Whether you decide to grill, bake, or sauté your chicken, make sure to use high-quality ingredients, the right cooking temperature, and baste the chicken with the apricot glaze. Happy cooking!
