Sticky, sweet, tangy deliciousness. This semi-homemade apricot chicken is a step up from that old recipe with onion soup, jam and Catalina dressing.

I wanted to try a homemade version (well, except for the jam) to cut back on the fat, sugar and salt.This version only has a few more ingredients and uses fresh onions.

It’s impossible to find the original apricot chicken recipe as it’s been been posted so many times on the internet by various authors.

Apricot Chicken With Olives

This tried and true easy apricot chicken is perfect for your next holiday dinner or just a simple family meal. I often serve it as one of my Rosh Hashanah recipes because it is so popular with kids. In fact, our whole family loves it.

Chicken: I tend to use a whole chicken cut up to satisfy all tastes, but feel free to use whatever parts you prefer. Skin-on chicken thighs are my favorite. If you only have a whole chicken on hand, here’s a video on how to cut up a whole chicken.

Apricot jam: is a key component. Good substitutes are apricot preserves, peach jam or preserves or orange marmalade. I haven’t tried it, but someone suggested using cranberry sauce instead of jam. If you’re feeling energetic, try our easy homemade peach jam or peach marmalade without pectin.

Russian Chicken (sweet & Sour Apricot Chicken)

Red wine vinegar: This adds a bit of tartness to balance the sweet jam. You can substitute it with white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

Preserves tend to be thicker than jam because they use larger pieces of fruit instead of mashed fruit. They both have the same nutritional value and can be used interchangeably in the apricot chicken recipe.

Onion soup mix is high in sodium, containing almost 600 mg sodium in one tablespoon. The salt content in the old version made with dry onion soup would be about 4 times our semi-homemade version.

For a side salad, I would go with a citrus salad with greens or a broccoli and cauliflower salad with avocado dressing.

Apricot Chicken In The Slow Cooker

The only problem with chicken is figuring out new ways to serve it. Because let’s face it, plain baked chicken can get pretty boring after a while. To keep it interesting, you have to mix it up with new toppings and sauces.

This Baked Apricot Chicken is a great way to spice up your chicken dinner – literally. It turns plain old chicken legs and thighs into a spicy-sweet delicacy, coated with a glaze of apricot preserves, ginger, red pepper, and garlic.

Simple

It’s really simple to make, too. All you have to do is mix the apricot preserves and spices in a little bowl, brush it on to the chicken, and bake it. The glaze will slowly soak into the meat as you bake it, so you can brush on some more during the last ten or twenty minutes of baking to make sure it has a nice golden coating on the outside.

By the time it’s done, your chicken will have that sweet and spicy flavor baked right into the meat, plus an extra layer of sticky-sweet goodness on top. Forget the Colonel – this is the chicken that’s really worth licking your fingers over.

5. Roast the chicken for 40 – 50 minutes or until golden. NOTE: From the 30 minute mark in the roasting time, brush more glaze on the chicken, on both sides. Baste every 10 minutes, getting more liberal with the amount you brush on with each basting time.

6. If at the end of the cooking time, you’d like more “color” on your chicken, feel free to broil it for 2 – 3 minutes. Watch it carefully as the sugar in the preserves can make it burn quickly!
