Sweet Baked Chicken
Description

Here is another sweet chicken recipe. It reminds me of the honey baked chicken that I used to make for Rosh Hashana.

Ingredients
2 - 3 lb. chickens, cut into eighths
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp. water
1 cup whole wheat matzo meal
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup light tasting olive oil
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup unsweetened apple butter
1 cup orange juice

 

Preparation

Remove chicken skin. Trim pieces of all excess fat and pat dry. In a shallow bowl, combine eggs and water. Beat well. In another shallow bowl, combine matzo meal, salt, pepper and garlic. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then roll in matzo meal.

Fry chicken in oil over medium heat until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a Dutch oven or covered roasting pan (do not grease the pan).

In a small bowl combine hot water, apple butter and orange juice. Pour over chicken and cover. Bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 45 minutes or until tender. Baste occasionally.

Apricot Chicken
Description

Here is a sweet chicken recipe.

Ingredients
3 lbs chicken, cut into quarters or eighths
2 Tbsp. fruit sweetened apricot preserves
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. sugar free ketchup (or tomato sauce)
2 Tbsp. dried chopped onion
1 Tbsp. sea salt

 

Preparation

Mix all ingredients (except chicken). Spread the sauce over the chicken and cover. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr and 10 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes.

Note: If you want to cut down on the fat, you can cut the mayonnaise down to 1 Tbsp. and remove the skin from the chicken. Just be sure to keep the chicken completely covered so it does not dry out.

Chicken Thighs With Honey, Olives, & Oregano
Description

All these ingredients could have been found in a biblical kitchen, except curiously enough the chicken, which arrived in the Holy Land from India around Talmudic times, spreading from East Asia and the Mediterranean to the rest of the world. Over the centuries, it has become one of the most beloved foods in Israel. Adapted from The Essential Book of Jewish Festival Cooking by Phyllis Glazer with Miriyam Glazer

Ingredients

Serves 6

12 chicken thighs
Marinade:
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon capers in brine, drained and coarsely `chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons dried oregano
10 ounces pitted green olives
Salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup flavorful honey (not clover)
1/2 cup dry white wine

 

Preparation

Rinse the chicken thighs and place in a bowl. Pour over boiling water to cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes. Using a sharp knife, scrape the skin to remove excess surface fat. Dry and place in a non-reactive ovenproof casserole.

Mix together all the ingredients for the marinade, except for the honey and wine, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190ºC). Turn all the chicken thighs skin up, and pour the wine over. Brush the thighs generously with honey, and cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour, remove cover and continue baking till the tops are golden-brown.

(May be prepared several hours in advance and reheated in the oven. Leftovers may be reheated the next day in the microwave).
