Steps:
- 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2.Drain the plums and reserve the syrup. Remove the pits from the plums. 3.In a blender or food processor, whirl the plums and syrup until pureed if a thinner consistency desired; I prefer to puree half the plums with the syrup and coarsely chop the rest of the plums and add to the puree. I like it chunky. 4.Melt margarine in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. 5.Stir in the plum puree, brown sugar, chili sauce, soy sauce, ginger and lemon juice. 6.Cook, uncovered, stirring often until slightly thickened. About 15 minutes. (I have also not cooked it at all and just dumped the mixture over the chicken and baked all together. The sauce is thinner but still tastes great!) 7.Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken in a lightly greased baking pan. 8.Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, basting with plum sauce every 15 minutes. Turn the chicken over and bake, basting occasionally, for 30 more minutes. (I have also just browned the chicken and thrown it in a crock pot and added the sauce, cooking it on low for 4-6 hours). 9.Heat the remaining sauce and pass it at the table.

PLUM-GLAZED ROAST CHICKEN
I adjusted a recipe for duck so I could use a chicken instead, and it's been a favorite holiday entree ever since. I've also substituted a small 9- to 11-pound turkey.-Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

APRICOT GLAZED CHICKEN WITH DRIED PLUMS AND SAGE
This is an elegant way to make a whole lot of chicken that tastes really, really good. It's kind of sweet and sour; sweet from the apricot preserves and the plums and sour from the bit of vinegar that I add. But what makes this dish are the sage leaves. They give a distinctive taste to the dish and make it a beautiful, festive platter that you can really be proud of.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees 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 13 by 9-inch baking pans.
- Toss all of the ingredients together with the chicken until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up in the pan, spaced evenly apart.
- If you're looking to prepare in advance, you can do everything up to this point and cover the roasting dishes and refrigerate until you're ready to roast the chicken.
- Roast, uncovered, until the tops of the chicken pieces are browned and the chicken is cooked through, and the juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ROASTED PLUMS AND ONIONS
Beautiful to behold and easy to make, this sheet-pan dinner combines sweet plums and soft red onions with crisp-skinned pieces of roasted chicken. Toasted fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes and a touch of allspice add complexity while a mound of fresh torn herbs crowns the top. If good ripe plums aren't available, you can substitute another stone fruit including peaches, nectarines or pluots, though if your fruit is very sweet, you might want to add a squeeze of lemon at the end. Serve this with rice pilaf, polenta or warm flatbread for a festive meal.

Steps:
- Toast the fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour seeds into a mortar and pound with a pestle until coarsely crushed (or lay seeds on a cutting board and pound them with a can or jar).
- Put the seeds into a large bowl and stir in lemon juice, zest, garlic, honey, allspice and red-pepper flakes.
- Season chicken generously all over with salt and pepper and add to the bowl, turning the pieces to coat them with marinade. Mix in plums and thyme sprigs. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- When ready to cook, heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the chicken pieces, plums, and thyme sprigs on a rimmed baking pan. Add onions, spreading them out around the chicken and plums. Season plums and onions lightly with salt. Drizzle everything with olive oil.
- Roast until chicken is golden and cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes, removing the white meat if it's done before the dark meat.
- Transfer chicken pieces as they are done to a platter. Spoon the plums and onions around the chicken. Drizzle a little of the pan drippings over the chicken and serve, garnished with the herbs and flaky salt.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chickens with salt. Stuff each cavity with 2 sprigs rosemary. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Place each chicken in an ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron), and place 2 sprigs rosemary around each chicken. (Alternatively, you can also roast the 2 chickens together in a roasting pan.) Toss plums with honey in a large bowl.
- Roast chickens for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and scatter some of the plums around chickens. Return to oven, and roast for 20 minutes more. Spread remaining plums on a rimmed baking sheet, dot with butter, and top with remaining 2 sprigs rosemary. Transfer to oven. Continue to roast chickens until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees; meanwhile, roast plums until soft and brown around edges, about 25 minutes. Let chickens rest for 10 minutes before serving.
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: A 3-4 pound whole chicken is ideal for this recipe. You can also use a spatchcocked chicken, which will cook more evenly.
- Make sure the chicken is dry: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning it. This will help the glaze adhere to the chicken.
- Season the chicken generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the chicken. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
- Baste the chicken frequently: Basting the chicken with the glaze will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the chicken every 20-30 minutes.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
Conclusion:
Plum glazed roast chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect plum glazed roast chicken every time.
