Steps:
- Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Give it a stir. Bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover it with the lid slightly ajar. Let it simmer for 20 minutes, giving it a stir every 5-10 minutes or so, just to prevent it from burning on the bottom.
- After about 20 minutes, the apricots should be very soft. Using a potato masher or whatever works for you, mash the apricots down if you do not want whole apricot pieces in your sauce. Give it a taste and adjust seasonings as needed (or add more sugar or vinegar to adjust taste). Cover again, with the lid slightly ajar, and continue simmering the sauce for another 20 minutes or so, again stirring every 5-10 minutes.
- If the sauce looks thick enough for your tastes, remove it from the heat and let it cool for at least 20 minutes prior to transferring it to airtight jars. The sauce should keep for about a week in the fridge.

Steps:
- For the apricot BBQ sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chile and garlic; cook an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the apricot jam; cook until the jam melts, 3 to 4 minutes more. Pour in the orange juice and cider vinegar, bring to a simmer, and then add the ketchup, honey, Dijon and Worcestershire. Adjust the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth. Add salt to taste. Remove 1 cup for basting the chicken; reserve the rest for serving.
- For the chicken thighs: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Place the chicken thighs on two foil-lined baking sheets. Lightly coat the thighs with canola oil and sprinkle liberally with the spice mixture on both sides.
- Bake until the chicken is cooked through, 35 minutes. Turn the oven to broil. Baste the chicken with BBQ sauce and broil until the sauce has caramelized and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 160 degrees F, about 2 minutes. Remove to a platter, let rest for 5 minutes
- Sprinkle the chicken with parsley, and serve with the reserved BBQ sauce.

Tips:
- Use ripe apricots: The flavor of the apricots will be more pronounced and the sauce will be sweeter. You can use fresh or dried apricots.
- Toast the spices: Toasting the spices will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast the spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
- Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce will help to thicken it and develop the flavors. You should simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for longer if you want a thicker sauce.
- Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your taste. You may want to add more sugar, vinegar, or spices.
- Use the sauce on your favorite foods: Apricot sweet sassy BBQ sauce is great on chicken, pork, ribs, or fish. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for vegetables or fries.
