Tips:
- For a crispy chicken coating, make sure the chicken is dry before dredging it in the flour mixture. You can pat it dry with paper towels or let it air dry for a few minutes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry and result in soggy chicken.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a good quality apricot jam or preserves for the sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Serve the chicken immediately with the apricot sauce. You can also garnish it with fresh parsley or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Apricot chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for lunch or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or chicken breasts. The apricot sauce is sweet and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with the crispy chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
