Spicy sweet chili apricot chicken with a hint of mustard - perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 lb beef short ribs
  • 1 large sweet onion (such as Bermuda, Maui or Spanish), cut in half, halves sliced (about 3 1/2 cups)
  • 1 bottle (12 oz) chili sauce
  • 3/4 cup apricot preserves
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons ground mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ribs and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
  • Prepare the slow cooker by spraying it with cooking spray. Add the onion to the cooker and place the ribs on top. Cover and cook on Low heat setting for 8 hours.
  • Cook the remaining ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
  • Drain any extra liquid from the cooker. Pour the sauce over the ribs, then crank up the heat to High. Cover and cook for about 1 more hour, or until the meat starts to pull apart from the bones.
