Chicken in plum sauce is a classic dish that combines the sweet and sour flavors of plum sauce with tender, juicy chicken. This delicious dish is a popular choice for both weeknight dinners and special occasions. The key to a great chicken in plum sauce is to use a good quality plum sauce that is both sweet and tart. You can either make your own plum sauce or use a store-bought variety. Once you have your sauce, the rest of the dish is easy to prepare. Simply cook the chicken until it is cooked through, then add the plum sauce and simmer until the chicken is heated through. Serve the chicken with rice or noodles, and enjoy!

ROAST CHICKENS WITH PLUMS
This recipe, which roasts two chickens at the same time, has been engineered to feed a crowd. It's no harder than roasting one chicken. The birds get rubbed down with a garlicky sumac spice rub brightened with lemon zest. Then, as they cook, their fragrant drippings season sliced plums roasting in the pan underneath them, which caramelize into a fruity, chutney-like sauce. Feel free to halve the recipe if you'd rather, but be sure to reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees. For two chickens you need the higher heat so they both crisp properly, but for only one chicken, slightly lower heat keeps the plums from burning.

Steps:
- Grate the zest from the lemons and place in a small bowl. Set aside the zested lemons.
- Stir sumac, salt, pepper, cinnamon and allspice into the lemon zest. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the garlic. The mixture should feel like wet sand. Rub it all over the chickens, including inside the cavity.
- Divide thyme bunch in half and place in the chicken cavities. Place chickens on a roasting rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, and let marinate, uncovered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- When ready to roast, let chickens come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large roasting pan, toss together plums, shallots, honey, oil, salt, cinnamon, allspice, bay leaf and 2 tablespoons water. Spread out plum mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Place chickens on the rack over the plums in the pan. Roast for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, squeeze 1 tablespoon juice from reserved lemon and mix it with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Drizzle this over the chicken, then continue to roast until the birds are golden-skinned and cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
- Let chickens rest, covered lightly with foil, for 10 minutes. Carve and serve with the plums and more thyme for garnish.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If using chicken breasts, slice them into thin strips for even cooking.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken without being too runny. If it's too thin, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
- Serve with rice or noodles: Chicken in plum sauce is typically served with rice or noodles. Steamed rice, jasmine rice, or lo mein noodles are all good options.
- Garnish with green onions: Garnish the dish with chopped green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
