A delicious recipe that's easy to make
This Australian family favourite, apricot chicken, pairs deliciously well with our Australian Pale Ale, Cloud Catcher.
A versatile recipe that’s delicious, cheap and easy to make with no fuss. It’s sure to please the whole house-hold and put a smile on your iso-buddies faces.
Cloud Catcher really highlights the stone fruit characters as well as the subtle spices you capture on the aroma of this beer. Instead of serving it with rice, try quinoa, the nuttiness of the quinoa pairs perfectly with the subtle malt backbone. The sweetness of the chicken balances the mild bitterness of the beer, making it a perfect harmony for every bite.

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a small saucepan combine apricot fruit, onion powder, garlic, ginger, soy, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Heat until well combined and apricot spread is melted.
In a large baking dish, pour half of glaze mixture to coat the bottom. Arrange the chicken pieces in single layer with skin side up and pour the remaining glaze over the chicken.

**If you want the sauce thickened, remove the chicken and pour the sauce into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and add a mixture of cornflour and water (approx. 1 tbsp cornflour to 2 tbsp water) until it makes a smooth paste. Add slowly until you get the sauce the consistency you want.
