Spiced Apricot Chicken | Slow Cooker Recipes NZ

It's like the old fashioned apricot chicken we all love, but this one is a little bit more special!  This recipe came about one week when the 'supermarket brand' of dried apricots was on special for an amazingly good price.  I grabbed them and started thinking about how I could make a slow cooker apricot chicken recipe without the packet mix. Then as I didn't have any chicken in the freezer, I waited for a bargain to come around on that, and the stage was set!  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Tip:  Are you wondering why I put Worcester sauce in everything?  America's Test Kitchen taught me that trick - if you are not browning anything before popping it in the slow cooker, just add a bit of Worcester sauce and it pumps up the flavour.

Spiced Apricot Chicken

Serves 4
Cook on low for 8 hours

2 tsp cornflour
2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp chilli flakes
2 tsp garlic granules
freshly ground salt and pepper to taste
440g can apricot nectar
1 onion quartered and thinly sliced
100g dried apricots (14 as it turns out)
2 tsp Worcester sauce
1kg skinless drumsticks

  • In the base of the slow cooker add the list of dry ingredients, stir in about a third of the apricot nectar, stir or whisk to make a smooth sauce.  Add the remainder of the nectar, stir/whisk to combine.
  • Add in the onions, the dried apricots and Worcester sauce and stir to combine.
  • Add the drumsticks, cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
There was only two of us for dinner that night, so I took the left over chicken off the bones, added it back into the sauce and then reheated it the next night - it was even better than the first night!  It would have been easy to stretch two drum sticks to feed three people just by adding a can of chickpeas.  Funny how storing overnight (or freezing) and then reheating improves the flavour.  Enjoy!
