Apricot Chicken

This sweet and sticky chicken is packed with the flavor of tangy apricots.

A few weeks ago, I bought a bunch of fresh apricots because they were on sale at my store. I ate some then promptly forgot about what I had left.

Tangy

Since they were pretty ripe when I re-discovered them, it was a now-or-never thing to use them.

One thing I always have plenty of in my freezer is chicken. I thought it might work if I re-worked my sticky chicken glaze using apricots. That was a great save because this tasted marvelous.

Yummo chicken

I didn’t include the ripe apricots in the sauce–I baked them in the pan with the chicken. Instead, I used apricot preserves.

The apricots are not pictured because since they were a tad overripe, they got a bit mushy, but eaten with the chicken, it was a fabulously tangy. This sauce would work for wings too.

Good for wings too

As apricots are close in flavor to peaches, just substitute peach preserves and fresh peaches for the apricots. Peaches seem to be on sale at low prices right now, so the substitution is good plus it’s economical.
