Ingredients
-
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
-
1/4 cup apricot jam
-
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-
1/4 cup chicken broth
-
Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper to taste.
Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs in the skillet, skin side down, and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the skin is golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Prepare the Glaze: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Cook for another minute or until fragrant.
Add the Apricot Glaze: Stir in the apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. Cook for a few minutes, stirring until the ingredients are well combined and the glaze has thickened slightly.
Return the Chicken: Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side up. Spoon the apricot glaze over the chicken.
Roast in the Oven: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and the skin is crispy.
Serve: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired. Serve the Apricot Glazed Roasted Chicken hot, with the glaze spooned over the top.
