- 8 chicken thighs or assorted pieces from one cut-up chicken
- 1 small jar apricot preserves
- 1 package dry French onion soup mix
- 1 bottle Russian dressing
- Nonstick cooking spray for preparing the baking pan
Instructions
Prepare the sauce.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Russian dressing, dry French onion soup mix, and apricot preserves. Stir until fully combined.
Preheat the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Prepare the baking pan.
- Lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Arrange the chicken.
- Place the chicken thighs in the prepared baking pan, leaving space between each piece.
Add the sauce.
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
Roast the chicken.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and roast for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Baste during cooking.
- Baste the chicken frequently with the sauce from the pan while it roasts to keep the chicken moist and well coated.
Check for doneness.
- Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest briefly before serving. Spoon additional sauce from the pan over the chicken, if desired.
