Spicy Apricot BBQ Chicken

Ingredients:

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs trimmed of all excess fat 
1/4 cup fruit-sweetened apricot preserves 
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar 
1/2 cup all natural BBQ sauce – we love OrganicVille original 
1 teaspoon granulated garlic 
1 teaspoon sea salt 

Instructions:

Cut trimmed chicken thighs into large bite size pieces. 
In a large mixing bowl combine the apricot preserves, vinegar, BBQ sauce, granulated garlic and sea salt. 
Add the chicken and mix very well to coat evenly. 
Place chicken and all the sauce in a storage container and marinate for at least 6 hours, overnight is ideal. 
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers (make sure they will fit in your skillet), leaving space at either end of skewer. 
Heat a large non-stick skillet or well seasoned cast iron pan over medium heat and add skewers. 
Cook skewers, turning a few times, until chicken is cooked throughout and sauce is nicely caramelized. 
Keep adding a bit of water to the pan as they cook, so the sauce doesn’t dry out or burn before the chicken is cooked, then I let the water and sauce dry out a little, so it caramelizes and gets nice and thick. 
Lastly, swirl the chicken skewers through the thickened sauce to make sure plenty of it sticks to the chicken.
