Apricot chicken: Sweat off a chopped onion and then brown whatever cut of chicken you are using (not wings but anything else is fine - I use breasts but drumsticks are probably best). Put into an oven proof dish. Add 1 or 2 cans of apricot halves with the juice.
Then add apricot nectar or some apricot jam. You want enough liquid for the sauce but don't drown the chicken. Add ground ginger to taste (this is the most important bit) and stir through the liquid. Cover and bake.
Once the chicken is cooked through & the apricot halves are starting to fall apart, it's done ! I like to thicken the sauce with a bit of flour but you don't have to. Serve over rice. Dead easy and really tasty. Adjust ginger and the level of apricot in the sauce to yr taste.
I like cracked black pepper with it. You could also add a little bit of finely chopped chili if you like your food spicy. My mum used to make this and I have never served it to anyone who didn't like it.
