This is a recipe that i accidently came across one day in a old microwave recipe book. I decided to try it and I've loved it ever since. You don't need to cut the apricots or remove the skin from the chicken I really don't bother doing that. Read more I think it adds a nice crust to the chicken. You don't need to use just chicken thighs. I've made this using chicken legs, breasts, and even a whole chicken before. And the ingredients in the sauce create a pleasing exotic flavor and smell.
