- 4 chicken legs
- 2 sticks of rosemary
- the zest of one lemon
- 5-6 dried apricots
- 1 onion
- a drop of white wine
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp honey
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
We have been having very cold weather here in the UK with snow and ice, just the sort of weather that makes you want to stay in and cook + eating a lot!
I cooked this by chance and it turned out to be a very nice dish indeed.
A touch of lemon zest to your chicken will make a big difference in flavour whilst honey and a few apricots will add a little sweetness making it all very pleasant indeed.
Directions:
Chop the onion and stir fry it in a pan with the garlic and a couple of spoons of olive oil.
Rub the chicken legs with salt and pepper
Add the chicken to the pan and seal it on a high heat until golden. Then add the white wine
Grate the lemon zest on the chicken
Add the rosemary, honey and apricots
Put the top of the pan on and cook on a low heat for about 45 minutes. If it gets dry add a little hot water from time to time.
I am entering this recipe from scratch into “Made with Love Mondays” hosted by Javelin Warrior.
Let's go back to how food used to be, made from wholesome, good ingredients. Let's embrace the slow food movement.
Taking time to cook yourself a decent meal should always come as a priority. After all we are what we eat! 
Adoro abbinare la carne con la frutta, le da un gusto agrodolce molto delicato! Ottimo l’accostamento delle albicocche, brava! Ciao
Another fast and wonderful dish, Alida! Chicken legs are so good, especially cooked in the pan, and I love the addition of apricots. This would definitely be a wonderful dish for a stay-in-from-snow night… Thanks so much for sharing!
This chicken looks flavourful and succulent. Have never tried to cook chicken with apricot, love that idea. I have dried apricots sitting around so I can use that for this dish.
Thank you Mark!
Io abbino sempre dolce e salato (specialmente frutta secca, miele e pollo), devo provare a grattarci il limone la prossima volta…e’ proprio una buona idea. Grazie Alida. PS mi sono fatta un bel riassunto delle tue deliziose ricette, non ho avuto molto tempo ultimamente per lasciare commenti….ma mi guardo tutti i post. Ciao
This is my kind of dish, Alida. Today I actually had some chicken legs for the supper too, but in slow cooker. Love roasted chicken with fresh rosemary.
Grazie cara Rita, non preoccuparti per i commenti. Sono molto time consuming e a volte il tempo non c’e’ con tutto quello che si ha da fare ogni giorno. Un abbraccioX
