Provided by Maggie Ruggiero

Categories     Chicken     Grill/Barbecue     Molasses     Apricot     Summer     Gourmet     Ginger

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 garlic cloves, forced through a garlic press or minced
1 Tbsp grated peeled ginger
2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
3/4 tsp ground cumin
Rounded 1/4 tsp cayenne
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
2 cups bottled unsweetened pomegranate juice
1 cup apricot jam (12 oz.), forced through a sieve if chunky
2 Tbsp molasses (not robust or blackstrap)
2 whole chickens (about 3 1/2 lb each), cut into 10 serving pieces (see cook's note below)

Steps:

  • Cook garlic, ginger, spices, and 1 tsp. kosher salt in oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pomegranate juice and boil until reduced to 1 cup, 12 to 19 minutes. Remove from heat, and then add jam and molasses and stir until jam has melted. Cool (it will thicken slightly). Transfer 3/4 cup sauce to a bowl and reserve for serving.
  • Prepare grill for indirect heat cooking over medium hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).
  • Pat chicken dry and season all over with 4 tsp. kosher salt. Oil grill rack, then grill chicken (in batches if necessary) skin side down first, directly over coals (covered only if using gas grill), turning once, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Move to area with no coals underneath (or over turned off burner for gas) and brush with some of sauce. Continue to grill, partially covered for charcoal (covered for gas), turning and brushing with sauce occasionally, until cooked through and well-glazed, 7 to 8 minutes for breasts, 15 to 20 minutes for dark meat.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose the Right Apricots: Use dried apricots that are plump and moist, not hard or dry. You can also use fresh apricots, but they will need to be peeled and pitted before using.
  • Brown the Chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the sauce will help to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the chicken in a single layer so that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a Good Quality Ginger: Fresh ginger is best, but ground ginger can also be used. If using ground ginger, use about 1/2 teaspoon for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.
  • Simmer the Sauce: Simmering the sauce for 15-20 minutes will help the flavors to meld together and develop. Be sure to stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Serve with Rice: Chicken with gingered apricot sauce is traditionally served with rice. However, it can also be served with noodles or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken with gingered apricot sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new chicken recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
