My Apricot Chicken is one of the most popular recipes on the blog so I decided to try something new with this Cherry Jalapeño Chicken and I must say it is my favorite now! The jalapeño is mild but feel free to kick it up by adding more. There is just something so special about a bite full of spicy and sweet and this chicken with it's crispy tangy skin will be your families favorite too!

INGREDIENTS

6-8 chicken thighs, with skin & bone

11.5 oz black cherry jam, sugar free

1 large jalapeño, minced, leave seeds if you want extra heat

1 tbsp garlic powder

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup ketchup, unsweetened, I like Noble Made

2 tbsp coconut aminos
