Ingreadient:
- 400g apricots, halved, stones removed and chopped
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons salt reduced soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 4 apricots, halved and stones removed
- leafy green salad, to serve
Direction:
- To make the apricot marinade, place apricots into a medium saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons water, cover and bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until tender. Add barbecue sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Simmer mixture, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until thick. Set aside to cool. Using a hand-held electric blender, puree mixture until just smooth
- Place chicken wings into a large bowl. Pour over apricot marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate (or longer if time permits)
- Preheat a well-greased barbecue or char-grill pan (see note) on medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade. Barbecue or char-grill chicken, in batches if necessary and brushing with the marinade occasionally, for 25-30 minutes or until caramelised and cooked through. Barbecue or char-grill apricots cut-side down for 1-2 minutes until lightly charred. Serve chicken with apricots and a leafy green salad
