Description
Do not marinate the chicken for more than 24 hours!
Ingredients
- Chicken Thighs 16 pieces
- Apricot Jam 1 cup
- Shallot 2 pieces
- Red Wine Vinegar ½ cup
- Grated Ginger Root 0 oz
- Vegetable Oil 2 tablespoons
- Soy Sauce 0.7 cups
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a small heavy pot, sauté finely chopped ginger and shallots over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Combine the shallots and ginger with the vinegar, bring to a boil, and continue to cook for about 2 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.
Step 3
Add soy sauce, apricots, a quarter teaspoon of pepper, and salt to the pot and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Transfer the prepared marinade to a blender and puree until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Place the chicken pieces in two airtight plastic bags, pour the marinade into them, seal tightly, and refrigerate for 8 hours. While the chicken is marinating, turn the bags occasionally.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet or a wide low-sided pan with foil, grease it with oil, and lay the chicken pieces in a single layer. Drizzle with marinade, cover with foil but not tightly (to allow air to circulate), and place in the oven.
Step 7
Bake the chicken at 300°F in the lower third of the oven for 40-50 minutes.
