Apple Glazed Chicken

In my household, chicken is a FAMILY STAPLE! My husband loves chicken so I had to figure out a way to give a little "flare" to a standard chicken dish. Here is an EASY Apple Glazed Chicken Recipe. Easy to prepare and your family is sure to love this!

Ingredients

Chicken (pieces or whole roaster chicken)

Salt (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

Season All

Butter/Cooking Spray

Water

Apple Glaze

1/3 Cup of Apple Jelly

1 tsp Spicy Brown Mustard

1 tsp Soy Sauce (low sodium)

1 tbsp stock juice from Baked Chicken

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat your oven 350 degrees.

2. Clean and Rinse your chicken and lightly pat dry with a paper towel.

3. Lightly season your Chicken with Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and a little Season All.

  *Note: Season All is salty so do not use alto Season All and Salt.

4. Remember to season both sides of your chicken.

5.  Add 1 small pieces of Margarine to the top of each piece of chicken. If you are cooking a whole roaster then add it liberally all over the chicken and place pieces in the cavity of the chicken as well.

  *Light Option: Spray the tops of each piece of chicken with Cooking Spray.

6. Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the pan. Just enough to barely cover the bottom. Approximately 1 cup of water. This will depend on the size of the pan that you are using.

7. Cover your chicken with foil but cut small slits in the top to allow steam ventilation.

8. Cook for 1 hour and 30 mins. Totally cooking time will be approximately 2 hours. This will depend on how fast your stove cooks.

9. After the first hour, Remember to occasionally baste your chicken while it is cooking. This helps your chicken to remain moist. Simple take a Baster or Spoon and pour the juice from the chicken back over the top of the chicken. Do this every 15 mins after you have been cooking your chicken for at least one hour. *For Whole Roaster Chickens - also remember to baste the inside of the chicken.

10. Remove your foil and allow your chicken to begin to brown slowly on the top.

While your chicken is cooking you can begin to prepare your Apple Glaze

1. Add the Apple Jelly to a saucepan and whisk until smooth on a medium heat setting.

2. Add the Spicy Mustard, Soy Sauce and Juice from the chicken.

3. Wisk all of the ingredients together on a medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.

4. Stir every few minutes so that it does not stick.

5. After the glaze begins to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.

6. Begin glazing your chicken with a pastry brush.

7. Glaze each piece of chicken then allow to brown for 5 -10 minutes before adding another layer of glaze.

*Please feel free to use your own baked chicken recipe and simply add the glaze.
