Apricot chicken is so 80's dinner party isn't it? Not any more! This amazing curry will have you reaching for another serving. Family curry night.
I think Apricot Chicken is pretty 1980's Australian. But I am happy to be corrected. I think it probably started with some recipe developer for the company that still makes tinned apricot nectar today, coming up with something that was not a dessert and it happened to be a hit. Luckily!
It went viral before viral was a thing! Feral in a flash even! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge fan but when you add a bit of kick to it and call it curry, you get me over the line. This will be perfect for a big family event, just throw in more chicken, make two batches of sauce and call it dinner in a few hours while you are off entertaining. Perfectly Simple thank you very much!
