Sweet Sticky Chicken Thighs
This sticky sweet chicken thighs recipe is perfect for a lazy day! It is super simple to throw together and smells delicious while cooking. It’s not a heavy dish plus with the home-made apricot jam, it’s incredibly mouthwatering! I was gifted a couple months ago with home-made jam made by the mother of one of my good friends (Thanks Yvette!). Since then, I have been looking for something to try it out on, that being said you do not have to use home-made jam but if you do it will be healthier than the store bought kind! The sage and the apricot jam balance the flavors out nicely to produce a sweet and savory taste with the chicken thighs. Overall, this is a great easy recipe to try out on a rainy day. – The Accidental Chef
