CHIPOTLE & APRICOT GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS



Chipotle & Apricot Glazed Chicken Thighs image

I recently tried this at a restaurant and attempted to duplicate tonight. It came out really good! You can really taste all of the flavors of both the glaze and the marinade. I like to make it healthier with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but regular thighs make a nicer presentation. I am making this tomorrow night (1/15/10) for a birthday dinner....so I will post a picture :)

Steps:

  • Mix together the marinade and place in a resealable bag with the chicken. Marinate for a few hours or up to over night (which I did on accident as our plans changed).

  • Heat a grill to medium high and place chicken on the grill (after you discard the remaining marinade). Brush the glaze on the chicken liberally each time you flip the chicken.
  • Serve with your favorite side dish. I made a very basic green bean & carrot side with a mashed sweet potato dish.
  • Enjoy!

SPICY APRICOT CHICKEN THIGHS



Spicy Apricot Chicken Thighs image

Chicken thighs are inexpensive and make a great dinner for a large group. The apricot glaze gives the meat a tempting gloss and the few minutes in the broiler crisps the skin to perfection. Leftovers are great the next day, too! Just turn oven on 375° and heat chicken for 10-15 minutes. -Marcy Gallinger, Deer Park, Washington
