PLUM-GLAZED ROAST CHICKEN
I adjusted a recipe for duck so I could use a chicken instead, and it's been a favorite holiday entree ever since. I've also substituted a small 9- to 11-pound turkey.-Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

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.
CITRUS PLUM GLAZED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Preheat oven to approximately 250 or 300 degrees. Halve chicken(s) discarding backs (or save for stock). Season chicken halves with Chinese five-spice powder, cayenne, pepper, and salt after rubbing with soft butter and drizzling with olive oil. Roast chicken for about 45 minutes, tenting if it appears that the chicken is browning too fast. Toward the end of the roasting time, heat more olive oil in a large sauce pan until hot but not smoking. Sautee the garlic and ginger until they start to give off their combined aroma - but do not brown either. Halve the orange and juice it, removing any seeds. Add to the soft garlic and ginger mixture. Reduce slightly. Add dollop of honey with the plum jam and stock. Whisk to combine and allow to further reduce a very small amount until you have a pourable consistency. Finish off with butter or margarine until smooth. Add more juice if needed. Pour 3/4´s of the jam mixture over the chicken and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. Add remaining mixture and continue to bake for another 5 minutes. It is important here to pay attention to the chicken so that it does not burn or brown overly much. Should it appear that the glaze is browning too much, retent with foil. As soon as the glaze has set, remove chicken and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Great dish with Thai sticky rice or a vegetable pasta dish. The prep time is minimal, and this makes a great meal to impress guests although the work involved was quick and easy.

Tips:
- Choose ripe plums: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy plums. You can use any variety of plums, but dark plums like black plums or Italian plums will give you a more intense flavor.
- Make sure to remove the plum pits: Before you cook the plums, be sure to remove the pits. You can use a knife to cut them out, or you can use a cherry pitter.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar in the glaze adds a lot of flavor, so be sure to use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will be aged for at least 12 years and will have a rich, complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. To prevent this, cook the chicken over medium heat and use a meat thermometer to ensure that it is cooked through but still juicy.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Plum glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and tangy plums, savory chicken, and rich balsamic vinegar creates a flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new chicken recipe, give plum glazed chicken a try! You won't be disappointed.
