Spicy Apricot Chicken

My absolute favorite flavor combination is spicy and sweet, love, love, LOVE it!  This quick and easy recipe is a perfect glaze for chicken wings.  No more boring buffalo or BBQ, try this tasty glaze next time you have wings.

1/2 onion -small dice
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 Thai chili peppers -diced up
1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 jar apricot jam (great from the store or make your own)
bunch of fresh parsley

1 pound chicken wings and drums

Saute the first three ingredients in a touch of olive oil.  Once they have softened add the tomato paste and swirl it around the pan for about 30 seconds.  Add your jam and let simmer for ten to fifteen minutes.

 Deep fry your chicken wings and drums (to an internal temperature of 165) then toss with the glaze and parsley.  Serve warm and try not to get addicted!
