Easiest chicken in my repertoire. Make the marinade for this in the morning in under 5 minutes and cook when you get home. The dish comes out super tender with a sweet flavor.
12-18 chicken legs and thighs (mixed)
1 jar apricot jam, 13 oz (plum jam works great too)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
5 garlic cloves
15-20 sage leaves
Salt and pepper
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together jam, olive oil and vinegar.
2. Thoroughly clean chicken pieces, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
3. Place pieces in your preferred baking dish, and pour jam mixture over the chicken so that all pieces are coated.
4. Disperse garlic and sage over the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
5. Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Roast chicken for 20-30 minutes until skin begins to darken and crisp. Flip each piece of chicken over, and continue roasting for another 20 minutes. Flip chicken once more, and cook for another 15 minutes.
6. Serve immediately.
