Notes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • 1 cup French dressing
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet dry onion soup mix
  • 12 chicken thighs

 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat & Prep:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients.
  2. Make the Sauce:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the apricot preserves, French dressing, and dry onion soup mix until well combined.
  3. Assemble the Dish:
    Place the chicken thighs in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the apricot glaze evenly over the chicken.
  4. Bake:
    Bake uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured near the bone. Serve & Enjoy:
    Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with rice, couscous, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
 
Tips:
  • For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 5 minutes.
  • Prefer boneless, skinless thighs? Reduce cooking time to 35–40 minutes.
  • Try substituting Russian dressing for a tangier flavor.
