For a richer flavor, try browning the chicken thighs in a skillet before baking. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch into the apricot nectar mixture before pouring it over the chicken. Serve this dish with a side of rice or couscous to soak up the delicious apricot sauce.

Nov 7, 2024I found that 55 minutes was a bit too long for my oven, so I checked the internal temperature after 45 minutes. Better to be safe than sorry!

Jul 24, 2024The apricot sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, so I added a splash of apple cider vinegar to balance it out. Worked like a charm!

Jan 26, 2024I accidentally used apricot preserves instead of apricot halves, and it still turned out great! The sauce was a bit thicker, but just as delicious.
