The chef Fany Gerson makes her tangy and sweet roast chicken with an apricot glaze: a mixture of apricot jam, butter and garlic that is applied while the chicken is in the oven, keeping it juicy and flavorful inside and out. The apricot butter is also whisked into the pan drippings, along with shallots and red wine vinegar, to make a vibrant sauce.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (4-pound) chicken, at room temperature
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 lemon, halved
1 small onion, chopped
8 sprigs fresh thyme
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 5 cups chicken broth
5 garlic cloves (4 of them crushed, 1 of them minced)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup dried apricots, sliced
1 cup roasted salted pistachios, whole or coarsely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack set in the middle position.
  • Place the chicken on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut off and discard any extra fat hanging around the cavity, and season the cavity generously with salt and pepper. Squeeze the lemon all over the outside of the chicken and stuff the cavity with the chopped onion, 4 sprigs of thyme and at least one of the juiced lemon halves (both, if they'll fit). Tie the legs together with twine. Rub 1 tablespoon oil all over the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Carefully pour 3 cups chicken broth into a rimmed baking sheet and scatter over the crushed garlic cloves and remaining 4 thyme sprigs. Place the chicken, breast-side up, on a rack set over the baking sheet. Roast the chicken for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 375 degrees and continue roasting for 1 hour more. Add additional chicken stock to the pan, as needed, to keep it from becoming dry.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash together the butter, 3 tablespoons apricot preserves and the minced garlic clove until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer 2 heaping tablespoons of the apricot butter to a small container and refrigerate. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil to the apricot butter in the bowl and whisk to thin the mixture into a glaze.
  • Baste the chicken with the glaze and continue roasting for another 30 minutes or so, basting again after 15 minutes. Continue roasting until the chicken is browned and the juices run clear when you insert a knife down to the bone between the leg and thigh. Loosely tent with foil if the skin is getting too brown before chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and tilt the chicken to release the juices from the cavity into the pan, then transfer the chicken to a carving board and let rest for 15 minutes. Strain the pan drippings, remove the fat and set aside.
  • While the chicken rests, in a small pan over medium heat, cook the shallot and vinegar until the vinegar is nearly all cooked away but the pan is not yet dry. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon apricot preserves and the reserved pan drippings, whisk together and bring to a simmer. Add the remaining cold apricot butter little by little, whisking constantly, and remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Carve chicken and serve with the seasoned jus, sliced apricots and pistachios if desired.

Panko-Crusted Chicken Bites with Apricot-Mustard Sauce image

No one will mistake these crunchy chicken bites with sweet apricot sauce for fast food

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch of cayenne pepper
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup apricot jam or preserves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fit with a wire rack. Spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Place flour in a large bowl and season very generously with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs in another large bowl with 2 tablespoons water until well combined. Place the breadcrumbs in a third large bowl, and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat. Stir in cheese and cayenne and mix well.
  • Place chicken pieces in the seasoned flour and toss to coat. Working in 3 batches, shake off any excess flour from chicken pieces and transfer to egg mixture; stir to combine. Transfer coated chicken pieces with a slotted spoon to the breadcrumb mixture and toss until completely coated. Place the breaded chicken pieces on a rack-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Repeat process until all the chicken is breaded. Bake until golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir the apricot jam, mustard, and thyme together until combined. Allow chicken to cool 10 minutes before serving with apricot mustard mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you're using bone-in chicken, you'll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the mustard mixture: This will help to ensure that the chicken is flavorful and moist throughout.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice are all great options.

Conclusion:

Apricot mustard baked chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the apricot mustard glaze is sweet, tangy, and flavorful. Serve this chicken with your favorite sides for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
