These Apricot-Glazed Drumsticks with Broccoli are one of my favorite ways to cook chicken drumsticks. Sweet and sticky, this chicken truly is finger-licking good! The glaze is simple, made with apricot jam.
To make this dish, start by placing the chicken on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season all over. Spread the drumsticks in an even layer and cook in the oven. As the chicken cooks, prepare the glaze by mixing jam, lemon juice and zest. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush glaze all over. Broil the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes but be careful not to burn the glaze. Cook broccoli in a large pan of salted water. Serve chicken with broccoli and garnish with cilantro. Yum!
