Apricot-Glazed Chicken Thighs

 

This recipe is designed for bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, but it would be equally good on breasts or wings.

1/4 cup apricot spreadable fruit

1/4 cup honey

2 Tbsp soy sauce

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 cup cider vinegar

4 lbs bone-in chicken thighs

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine spreadable fruit, honey, soy sauce, garlic and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan.  Heat over medium-low heat until the spreadable fruit is melted.  Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar.  Set aside to cool.  

Line a sheet pan with foil.  Arrange chicken in a single layer and season lightly with salt.  Pour apricot glaze over chicken, turning pieces to coat.  Arrange pieces skin side up.  Bake uncovered for 40 - 45 minutes or until done.  Brush the tops with excess glaze every 20 minutes.  Tops should be nicely browned.
