Ingredients

2 roasting chickens, cut into pieces
1 (12-ounce) jar apricot preserves
15 medium dried plums, pitted
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3 pinches salt
20 grinds black pepper
10 cloves garlic, peeled
20 to 30 sage leaves

Directions

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.

wow!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for dinner before Yom Kippur. It was fantastic! I did use two whole chickens, broken down - and skinned one of... them. I used about 12 cloves garlic, 25 sage leaves, and Trader Joe's reduced-sugar preserves. Served it with honey-roasted root veggies and an apricot and pine nut rice pilaf. Definitely a winner and a repeater!Read more

I use a few variations, boneless chicken breast, balsamic vinegar, and I lightly bread chicken with seasoned flour and... pre-cook before baking. It is so good. My husbands favorite. He makes me make a double batch everytime, and its never enough. Read more

I used boneless skinless chicken breast. Skin-on would have made this too greasy for me. I would double the vinegar next time... and hopefully give it a little more tang. Super easy to do. The sage leaves look great, but the flavor didn't really come through. Served the sauce with wild rice. Read more
