So You Can Get Back To Your Hectic Life

Quick and Easy Sweet and Spicy Chicken

1 chicken, cut into pieces

1 cup all natural apricot fruit spread

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

1 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce (optional)

Preheat the over to 350° F. Rinse and dry chicken. Coat pan(s) with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken in pan(s) with the skin facing up. Whisk together remaining ingredients. Spread sauce over chicken. Bake uncovered for one hour or until chicken is fully cooked.

Serve with instant brown or white rice.

Hints: Use garlic powder, not granulated garlic. Use all natural, no sugar added fruit spread. It's sweet enough. Use less salt when adding Tobasco Sauce.

Healthy Alternative: Use 8 skinless chicken thighs instead of whole chicken with skin.

Not-So-Spicy Alternative: Omit red pepper flakes and Tabasco Sauce. Replace with 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon white pepper.
