Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 chicken, about 3 1/2 pounds, cut into 8 pieces
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup dried apricots, halved
  • 1/2 cup apricot preserves
  • 1/2 cup bottled Russian dressing
  • 1/4 cup duck sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Onion Soup Mix*

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Arrange in prepared pan. Sprinkle with nutmeg. In a small bowl, stir together apricots, preserves, Russian dressing, duck sauce and onion soup mix. Pour over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 1 hour. Skin should be crisp and brown. Serve immediately. For an attractive garnish, add a few cinnamon sticks before serving. If you are lucky enough to find fresh, ripe apricots, pit and slice a few. Place over chicken before serving. *Make your own Onion Soup Mix with this recipe Photo Credit: Melinda Strauss
