Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine apricot jam, onions, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Mix well to create the glaze.
Pat chicken thighs dry and arrange them skin-side up in a baking dish. Pour half of the glaze over the thighs.
Let the chicken marinate for about 10 minutes before adding the remaining glaze on top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste halfway through cooking for extra moisture.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
