Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 a bottle Catalina or Russian salad dressing
1 packet onion soup mix
1/4 cup or so of apricot jam
4 bone-in chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Mix the dressing, soup mix, and jam together. Put the chicken in a baking dish, skin side up, and pour the dressing mix over the chicken. Bake at 350 until done, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade or sauce to add depth to the chicken. A simple mixture of apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and olive oil works well.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken with a variety of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
  • For a more crispy skin, pan-fry the chicken over medium-high heat until golden brown.
  • If you don't have apricot jam, you can use peach or orange marmalade instead.
  • To make the chicken more flavorful, you can add a teaspoon of minced garlic and a pinch of ground ginger to the marinade or sauce.

Conclusion:

Catalina apricot chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy apricot sauce complements the chicken perfectly, and the almonds add a nice crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
