Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the apricot preserves, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and rub them with olive oil.
  4. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in a large baking dish. Pour the apricot glaze over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown.
  6. For extra caramelization, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
