Apricot-Glazed Drumsticks with Quinoa

INGREDIENTS

• ½ c apricot jam
• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp sriracha
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 6 chicken drumsticks
• 1½ quinoa, rinsed
• 2½ chicken broth
• 1 shallot, finely chopped (about ¼ c)
• 1 Tbsp EVOO
• kosher salt
• ½ c chopped scallions (white and light green part)

PREPARATION

1. Heat the oven to (it says) 375° with a rack in the center.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the jam, mustard, sriracha, garlic, and soy sauce. Measure out 3 Tbsp of this marinade and reserve. Place the drumsticks in the large bowl with the rest of the marinade and turn to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the dish.
3. Stir together the quinoa, broth, shallot, EVOO, ad a pinch of salt in a 13" x 9" baking dish. Add the drumsticks with their marinade to the quinoa, spacing them evenly apart.
4. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then gently stir the quinoa with a fork to distribute the moisture around the pan. Continue baking another 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked (165°).
5. Serve hot topped with scallions. Pass the reserved marinade.
