A true crowd pleaser, this sweet chicken is very juicy and goes very well with white rice. I have modified it from an original Djedjad recipe which calls for apricots.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup margarine or butter
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon rose water
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
4 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, with skin
1 pound fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ cup toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a glass measuring cup, combine the margarine, honey, rose water, salt and pepper. Heat in the microwave until margarine has melted, about 30 seconds. Place chicken in a baking dish and pour the margarine mixture over it. Stir to coat the chicken completely. Place the dish of chicken into the oven.
  • Cook uncovered in the preheated oven until chicken pieces have browned, about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add the peaches to the dish and sprinkle with sugar. Continue to roast until chicken is cooked through, about 20 more minutes.
  • Remove chicken pieces to a serving dish and pour the juices from the pan over them. Garnish with slivered almonds.

I'm not a big fan of peaches, but I'm willing to try this recipe. I'm hoping the spices will balance out the sweetness of the peaches.
