Chicken thighs are inexpensive and make a great dinner for a large group. The apricot glaze gives the meat a tempting gloss and the few minutes in the broiler crisps the skin to perfection. Leftovers are great the next day, too! Just turn oven on 375° and heat chicken for 10-15 minutes. —Marcy Gallinger, Deer Park, Washington

Ingredients

3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
12 bone-in chicken thighs (about 5 pounds)
SAUCE:
1 jar (12 ounces) apricot preserves
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; rub over chicken. Place chicken, skin side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°-175°.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sauce ingredients; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn chicken. Spoon some sauce over chicken. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes or until browned. Turn chicken again; baste with sauce. Broil for 2-3 minutes longer or until browned. Serve with remaining sauce.
