French In A Flash: Lavender-Apricot Chicken Drumsticks Recipe

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450u00b0F.

2. 2

   Toss the chicken with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. If you were using rosemary instead of lavender, I would chop it and toss it with the chicken at this point. Place a Silpat (or foil or parchment) over a baking sheet with a lip, and lay the chicken out on the baking sheet, making sure it is well spread out. Roast for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   After 30 minutes, the chicken should be golden. If it needs help, broil the drumsticks for a few minutes to get the skin crisp and golden.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, in a mini food processor, whiz together the apricot preserves and the tablespoon of boiling water, to loosen the glaze, and break up any large bits of fruit in the preserves.

5. 5

   After 30 minutes, if you have not already turned on your broiler, do so. Brush the chicken with half the apricot glaze, and place under the broiler for about 5 minutes, until the glaze starts to bubble and turn golden brown. Then, turn the chicken over, glaze the other side, and broil until that side is bubbly and golden.

6. 6

   Remove the chicken from the oven, and pile the legs up on a platter. Sprinkle with lavender to taste.
