1 (2.5 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅔ cup plum jam

1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 ¼ teaspoons prepared horseradish

Plum-Glazed Roast Chicken image

APRICOT-GLAZED CHICKEN WITH DRIED PLUMS AND SAGE



Apricot-Glazed Chicken with Dried Plums and Sage image

Categories     Chicken     Fruit     Herb     Poultry     Bake     Dinner     Dried Fruit     Apricot     Plum     Fall     Kidney Friendly     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes about 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 chickens, cut into pieces
One 12-ounce jar apricot preserves
12 to 15 medium dried plums, pitted
1 tablespoon white vinegar
A few pinches of salt
20 grinds of freshly ground pepper
10 cloves garlic, peeled
20 to 30 sage leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Trim any extra fat from the chicken pieces and transfer them to a large roasting pan or broiler pan. If you don't have a roasting pan that's large enough, use 2 identical 9 x 13-inch baking pans.
  • Mix together the preserves and the vinegar in a mixing bowl. Dump over the chicken, add the remaining ingredients, and toss with the chicken until the chicken is evenly coated. Arrange the chicken pieces in the pan(s), skin side up, and spaced evenly apart.
  • If you want to prepare this in advance, you can do everything up to this point, cover the pans, and put them in the fridge until you're ready to roast the chicken, but bring it back to room temperature before roasting.
  • Roast until the tops of the chicken pieces are browned, about 35-40 minutes.
  • Dave's Take:
  • Recipes that use a lot of whole peeled garlic cloves are a perfect reason to look for containers of peeled garlic in the produce section of the supermarket. In my experience, Christopher Ranch is the best brand out there right now. The garlic is always fresh and potent.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ROASTED PLUMS AND ONIONS



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Roasted Plums and Onions image

Beautiful to behold and easy to make, this sheet-pan dinner combines sweet plums and soft red onions with crisp-skinned pieces of roasted chicken. Toasted fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes and a touch of allspice add complexity while a mound of fresh torn herbs crowns the top. If good ripe plums aren't available, you can substitute another stone fruit including peaches, nectarines or pluots, though if your fruit is very sweet, you might want to add a squeeze of lemon at the end. Serve this with rice pilaf, polenta or warm flatbread for a festive meal.

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange zest
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Large pinch red-pepper flakes, or to taste
1 chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), cut into parts
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups ripe, soft plums, pitted and cut into 3/4-inch thick slices
6 fresh thyme sprigs
1 medium red onion, peeled and sliced from root to stem in 1/2-inch wedges
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2/3 cup torn mint, basil or cilantro leaves (or a combination)
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Toast the fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour seeds into a mortar and pound with a pestle until coarsely crushed (or lay seeds on a cutting board and pound them with a can or jar).
  • Put the seeds into a large bowl and stir in lemon juice, zest, garlic, honey, allspice and red-pepper flakes.
  • Season chicken generously all over with salt and pepper and add to the bowl, turning the pieces to coat them with marinade. Mix in plums and thyme sprigs. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the chicken pieces, plums, and thyme sprigs on a rimmed baking pan. Add onions, spreading them out around the chicken and plums. Season plums and onions lightly with salt. Drizzle everything with olive oil.
  • Roast until chicken is golden and cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes, removing the white meat if it's done before the dark meat.
  • Transfer chicken pieces as they are done to a platter. Spoon the plums and onions around the chicken. Drizzle a little of the pan drippings over the chicken and serve, garnished with the herbs and flaky salt.

PLUM GLAZED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Plum Glazed Chicken Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by sherryl61

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can Oregon Purple Plums (or other variety if you have them)
2 T margarine
1 onion, finely chopped
1/3 C brown sugar
1/4 C prepared tomato-based chili sauce
2 T soy sauce
1 tsp ginger
2 tsp lemon juice
2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken (I have also used a whole chicken cut up)

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2.Drain the plums and reserve the syrup. Remove the pits from the plums. 3.In a blender or food processor, whirl the plums and syrup until pureed if a thinner consistency desired; I prefer to puree half the plums with the syrup and coarsely chop the rest of the plums and add to the puree. I like it chunky. 4.Melt margarine in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. 5.Stir in the plum puree, brown sugar, chili sauce, soy sauce, ginger and lemon juice. 6.Cook, uncovered, stirring often until slightly thickened. About 15 minutes. (I have also not cooked it at all and just dumped the mixture over the chicken and baked all together. The sauce is thinner but still tastes great!) 7.Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken in a lightly greased baking pan. 8.Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, basting with plum sauce every 15 minutes. Turn the chicken over and bake, basting occasionally, for 30 more minutes. (I have also just browned the chicken and thrown it in a crock pot and added the sauce, cooking it on low for 4-6 hours). 9.Heat the remaining sauce and pass it at the table.

ROAST CHICKENS WITH PLUMS



Roast Chickens With Plums image

This recipe, which roasts two chickens at the same time, has been engineered to feed a crowd. It's no harder than roasting one chicken. The birds get rubbed down with a garlicky sumac spice rub brightened with lemon zest. Then, as they cook, their fragrant drippings season sliced plums roasting in the pan underneath them, which caramelize into a fruity, chutney-like sauce. Feel free to halve the recipe if you'd rather, but be sure to reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees. For two chickens you need the higher heat so they both crisp properly, but for only one chicken, slightly lower heat keeps the plums from burning.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 large lemons
2 tablespoons ground sumac
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, grated or minced
2 chickens, 4 to 4 1/2 pounds each
1 bunch thyme, more for garnish
2 1/4 pounds plums, halved or quartered if large
4 shallots, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 bay leaf, torn in half

Steps:

  • Grate the zest from the lemons and place in a small bowl. Set aside the zested lemons.
  • Stir sumac, salt, pepper, cinnamon and allspice into the lemon zest. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the garlic. The mixture should feel like wet sand. Rub it all over the chickens, including inside the cavity.
  • Divide thyme bunch in half and place in the chicken cavities. Place chickens on a roasting rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, and let marinate, uncovered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to roast, let chickens come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a large roasting pan, toss together plums, shallots, honey, oil, salt, cinnamon, allspice, bay leaf and 2 tablespoons water. Spread out plum mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Place chickens on the rack over the plums in the pan. Roast for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, squeeze 1 tablespoon juice from reserved lemon and mix it with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Drizzle this over the chicken, then continue to roast until the birds are golden-skinned and cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
  • Let chickens rest, covered lightly with foil, for 10 minutes. Carve and serve with the plums and more thyme for garnish.

Tips:

  • Prep your chicken: Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the glaze adhere better to the chicken.
  • Use a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what gives this dish its amazing citrusy flavor. Be sure to use a citrus juice that you enjoy, such as orange, lemon, or grapefruit. You can also add other ingredients to the glaze, such as honey, maple syrup, or even a bit of chili powder.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Baste the chicken with the glaze: Basting the chicken with the glaze will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Be sure to baste the chicken every few minutes during cooking.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you let it sit for too long, the chicken will start to dry out. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

This Citrus Plum Glazed Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked to perfection and the glaze is bursting with flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
