STICKY APRICOT CHICKEN
Steps:
- Heat a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add a splash of oil and brown the chicken pieces all over until the skin is crisp and golden, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- In the meantime, mix together all the glaze ingredients. Add 2 tablespoons water to thin the glaze out a little but not enough to make it overly watery.
- When the chicken is golden brown and almost cooked through, pour off the excess fat.
- Return the pot to the heat and add the glaze.
- Allow the glaze to simmer gently, basting the chicken regularly until the glaze has reduced and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve the chicken on rice with a generous amount of glaze spooned over.

- Remove the giblets from the chicken and just throw them away.
- Dry the bird off and place it, breast side up, in the lined pan.
- Stuff the bird with as many apricots and onion pieces as you can then just toss the ones that would fit around the bird Stuff the cinnamon sticks, one under each breast, inside the bird.
- Smear the butter, curry powder, and cayenne all over the top and sides of the chicken.
- Cook for 20 minutes in the 475F oven then loosely cover with foil, turn the oven to 350F and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours more.
- When the bird is down, remove from the oven and spit it open down the back bone.
- Turn oven down to 250°F.
- Remove the apricots and onion from inside and around the bird and place them in a blender or food processor.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose Ripe Apricots: Use ripe, juicy apricots for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use dried apricots that have been soaked in warm water for 10 minutes.
- Brown the Chicken: Browning the chicken before adding the sauce helps to develop flavor and color. Make sure to brown the chicken in batches so that it doesn't crowd the pan and steam.
- Use a Good Quality Apricot Preserves: The quality of the apricot preserves you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Look for a preserves that is made with real apricots and has a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
- Adjust the Sauce to Your Taste: The sauce can be adjusted to your taste by adding more or less honey, lemon juice, or cayenne pepper. If you like a thicker sauce, you can simmer it for a few minutes longer.
- Serve with a Starch: Apricot chicken is best served with a starch such as rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
