Step 1
Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 2
In the same skillet, cook diced onion over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in allspice, pine nuts, and apricots. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Pat chicken thighs dry. Brush one side of each phyllo sheet with olive oil, then place a thigh at one end and top with 2 tbsp filling.
Step 4
Roll each thigh tightly in phyllo, tucking sides as you go. Arrange seam-side down on a sheet pan. Brush tops with remaining olive oil.
Step 5
Roast at 400°F until phyllo is golden brown and crispy, about 14 minutes. Check thickest part reaches 165°F with a thermometer.
Step 6
Let rest 2 minutes. Serve hot with lemon wedges or tzatziki if desired.
