Bourbon Peach-Apricot Glazed Chicken image

This easy and beautiful, glistening brown chicken is great for Sunday's supper or for a really fancy dinner party. Originally on lando'lakes.com but it has been tweaked a bit since. Wonderful with a side of rice, green vegetables and garlic cheese biscuits and of course some nice wine.
