PLUM GLAZED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)

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.

Transfer bok choy mixture to colander, tent with foil and let drain.
• 2. Whisk plum sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and remaining chili-garlic sauce in small bowl. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in empty skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook half of the chicken until no longer pink about 3 minutes; transfer to plate and repeat with remaining oil and chicken.
• 3. Return first batch of chicken with juices to skillet. Stir in plum sauce mixture and scallions and cook until thickened about 1 minute. Transfer bok choy to platter and top with chicken. Serve with Asian noodles or white rice. ( I actually serve it this way because my family likes it this way...rice or noodles in bowl top with chicken mixture and then top with bok choy mixture). This is a very spicy dish!

CITRUS PLUM GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to approximately 250 or 300 degrees. Halve chicken(s) discarding backs (or save for stock). Season chicken halves with Chinese five-spice powder, cayenne, pepper, and salt after rubbing with soft butter and drizzling with olive oil. Roast chicken for about 45 minutes, tenting if it appears that the chicken is browning too fast. Toward the end of the roasting time, heat more olive oil in a large sauce pan until hot but not smoking. Sautee the garlic and ginger until they start to give off their combined aroma - but do not brown either. Halve the orange and juice it, removing any seeds. Add to the soft garlic and ginger mixture. Reduce slightly. Add dollop of honey with the plum jam and stock. Whisk to combine and allow to further reduce a very small amount until you have a pourable consistency. Finish off with butter or margarine until smooth. Add more juice if needed. Pour 3/4´s of the jam mixture over the chicken and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. Add remaining mixture and continue to bake for another 5 minutes. It is important here to pay attention to the chicken so that it does not burn or brown overly much. Should it appear that the glaze is browning too much, retent with foil. As soon as the glaze has set, remove chicken and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Great dish with Thai sticky rice or a vegetable pasta dish. The prep time is minimal, and this makes a great meal to impress guests although the work involved was quick and easy.
