  • Turn oven down to 250°F.
  • Remove the apricots and onion from inside and around the bird and place them in a blender or food processor.
  • Finish carving the bird and set it aside.
  • Line another 9"-13" pan with foil (or use the same one that has just been cleaned) Pour the rice into the pan and stir in the butter and curry powder.
  • Place the chicken on top of the rice and set aside.
