Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 bone-in (skin-on chicken thighs)
olive oil (for browning)
3/4 cup apricot jam/preserves
1 tablespoon soy sauce
zest and juice of 1 lemon (you need approximately 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice)
pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
salt & pepper to taste
2-3 tablespoons water (to thin down)
fresh parsley
Almond pilaf

Steps:

  • Heat a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add a splash of oil and brown the chicken pieces all over until the skin is crisp and golden, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, mix together all the glaze ingredients. Add 2 tablespoons water to thin the glaze out a little but not enough to make it overly watery.
  • When the chicken is golden brown and almost cooked through, pour off the excess fat.
  • Return the pot to the heat and add the glaze.
  • Allow the glaze to simmer gently, basting the chicken regularly until the glaze has reduced and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken on rice with a generous amount of glaze spooned over.

QUICK APRICOT CHICKEN



Quick Apricot Chicken image

This simple apricot chicken is one of my favorite dishes. Everybody just loves it and leftovers are always just as good the next day.
