Baked Fruity Chicken image

This chicken is absolutely delicious and moist. Its' slightly sweet flavor & sauce keeps everyone asking for more. I always serve it over a bed of rice with plenty of steamed vegetables. I often substitute canned peaches for the fruit cocktail. If you desire more sauce, simply use all of the syrup from the canned fruit. It turns out much tastier if made with chicken pieces with the skin left on.
