Method
Step 1 of 4
Put the apricots, honey, and brandy in a small pan. Simmer for about 15 minutes until the apricots soften and the liquid has been absorbed. Leave to cool.
Step 2 of 4
Mince the chicken in a food processor for 15-20 seconds; be careful not to turn it into a paste. Transfer to a bowl, and add the cooled apricots, nuts, rice, garlic, herbs, chillies, and egg. Season with salt and black pepper, and mix well. Using wet hands, form into walnut-sized balls; you should end up with 36-40.
Step 3 of 4
Heat enough oil for deep-frying over a medium-high heat. Cooking in batches, deep-fry the balls for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm.
Step 4 of 4
To make the sauce, put all the sauce ingredients in a bowl, and mix well. Arrange the spicy chicken balls on a platter, pour over the sauce, and scatter some cress over the top. Serve immediately.
