Apricot-glazed grilled chicken thighs are a great try for your next backyard barbecue session. Courtesy of The Healthy Maven, these juicy marinated chicken thighs are worth getting your fingers sticky for! We recommend serving them with a big helping of greens or roasted veggies on the side.
Apricot-Glazed Grilled Chicken Ingredients Directions img from link (resize) Place apricots in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 1 hour. Drain apricots and place in a blender or food processor, and blend until a smooth paste is formed. In a medium-sized pot, add apricot paste with all the ingredients except the chicken thighs. Bring ingredients to a boil and then lower to a simmer; cook for 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before marinating chicken for at least 1 hour in fridge, but ideally overnight. Preheat grill to medium-high and lightly oil grates. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6 minutes on each side (12 minutes total). Note: Cook time may be longer for larger chicken thighs or breasts, so poke the thigh with a fork or skewer and see if the juices run clear to indicate they’ve been cooked thoroughly.
