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.

I'm not a big fan of chicken. Do you think this recipe would work with another type of meat, like pork or beef?

I'm allergic to apricots. Can I use another fruit, like apples or pears?

I'm not sure about the combination of apricot and sage. I might try a different herb, like rosemary.

This dish is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less apricot preserves next time.

I found that the chicken was a little dry. I think I might try brining it next time.

I'm not a big fan of sage, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still very good.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the apricot glaze was perfectly sweet and tangy. The dried plums and sage added a nice touch of complexity.
