Ingredients

• 1/2 cup ketchup (certified gluten-free if necessary)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons molasses
• 1/2 cup unsweetened dried apricots
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried ground mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 12 chicken thighs (about 3 1/2 ounces per thigh)

Directions

1. Place apricots in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 1 hour.
2. Drain apricots and place in a blender or food processor, and blend until a smooth paste is formed.
3. In a medium-sized pot, add apricot paste with all the ingredients except the chicken thighs. Bring ingredients to a boil and then lower to a simmer; cook for 20 minutes.
4. Let cool slightly before marinating chicken for at least 1 hour in fridge, but ideally overnight.
5. Preheat grill to medium-high and lightly oil grates. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6 minutes on each side (12 minutes total). Note: Cook time may be longer for larger chicken thighs or breasts, so poke the thigh with a fork or skewer and see if the juices run clear to indicate they’ve been cooked thoroughly.
