Ingredients
- 8 skinless drumsticks
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- Fresh cracked pepper (to taste)
- 5 sprigs fresh sage
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup Polaner All Fruit apricot
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large garlic clove (minced)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently massage the chicken legs with salt and pepper. Add the sage and oil and toss. Marinate in the fridge 6 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grate the lemon zest from the lemon then squeeze the juice. Add the zest and juice to a small bowl and mix in the preserves, Worcestershire sauce and garlic.
- Pluck out the sage from the chicken and discard. Brush the sticky jam all over the chicken then place them in a baking dish, leaving plenty of breathing room. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, until the juices run clear when pricked. Serve hot and be prepared to burn your fingers.
