SPICY PINEAPPLE-APRICOT CHICKEN
My girlfriend and I made this one night when we were hungry and wanted to try making something. It turned out amazing and everyone loved it. Duplicated it for my parents a few weeks later and my dad stole the leftover for his work refrigerator! Pretty simple and easy to make as well. The spiciness is vague in the recipe because we added whatever hot sauces we could find until we got a good heat/taste ratio.
