Apricot-Mustard Baked Chicken

Total Time: 40 minutes

Serving Size: 4-6

Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 Chicken pieces, skin-on (thighs or drumsticks), patted dry
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3/4 cup Apricot jam
  • 1 TBSP Grainy mustard
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • Leaves Thyme (from two sprigs)

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. Place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is baking, whisk together the jam, mustard, water, thyme, and a little salt and pepper in a small saucepan over heat for about 3 minutes (the mixture should be slightly syrupy).
  4. Pull the chicken out of the oven and pour the sauce on top. Continue baking for another 15 minutes. For the last 3 minutes, place the chicken under the broiler on the top rack so it gets golden and crispy looking.
