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.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some roasted chicken that I had on hand, and it turned out wonderfully. The glaze really helped to reheat the chicken and make it moist and flavorful.

I was a little skeptical about using dried plums in a savory dish, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well they worked. They added a nice sweetness and chewiness that complemented the chicken and glaze perfectly.
