12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Frozen barbecued chickens with sauce, defrosted, kosher precooked
8 ounces Frozen chopped peppers & onions
½ cup Orange-flavored brandy
8 ounces Mixed dried fruits; cut in half, see note
14 ounces Stewed tomatoes; partially drained
2 teaspoons Five-spice powder
8 ounces Shredded carrots
2 teaspoons Garlic powder
2 tablespoons Honey
½ cup Lemon juice
2 cups Coarsely cut italian parsley
Sliced almonds
1 Sprig italian parsley; for garnish

Directions

Drain barbecue sauce from defrosted chickens. Reserve. Cut each chicken into 8 pieces and place, skin side up, in a baking pan. Remove any fat from reserved sauce. Place 2 cups sauce in large microwave dish. Dispose of remaining sauce. Mix in peppers and onions, brandy, dried fruits, tomatoes, five-spice powder, carrots, garlic powder, honey, lemon juice and parsley.

Partially cover and microwave on high 7 minutes, until fruits are fork-tender.

Pour sauce and its contents over chicken and marinate overnight. Sprinkle with almonds and bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 45 minutes until heated completely through. Garnish with parsley before serving. This goes beautifully with a couscous mix, which cooks in 5 minutes, or barley pilaf, which microwaves in 8 minutes. Just follow the package directions.

Yield: 10 to 12 servings
