How to Make Apricot Oven Fried Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup apricot preserves with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Brush the mixture liberally over 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts).
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dredge the apricot-glazed chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Place the breaded chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking dish lined with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray or drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter for extra flavor and crispiness.
- Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces. For larger pieces, add an additional 15 minutes to the cooking time.
