Apricot Glazed Drumsticks and Thighs #SFSmarties

by Emily Buys 10 Comments

Apricot Glazed Drumsticks and Thighs


Finger lickin’ good chicken can be hard to find, or create. I decided to take advantage of an upcoming Smart & Final sale on First Street Chicken Drumsticks and Thighs, by creating a sticky and sweet chicken recipe that would be great for a BBQ, tailgating party or just an afternoon at home. This recipe for Apricot Glazed Drumsticks and Thighs is super easy and sure to delight.

From 10/10-10/16, you can find First Street Chicken Drumsticks and Thighs for only $.99/lb.  I served the apricot glazed chicken on a bed of rice that I spruced up with some of the extra glaze and some chopped dried apricots.
