CHICKEN AND SAUCE

BUTTERED ALMONDS

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In large, heavy, oven-proof skillet melt butter; let cool, but do not let solidify. Turn chicken in butter to coat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Tuck edges under, forming compact shape about 1½ inches thick. Place chicken in skillet, skinned side up. Bake at 425 degrees F, basting occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Remove chicken to warm serving plates; keep warm.

Saute almonds in butter until lightly toasted. Sprinkle with salt.

Let cool to crisp.

Add orange-juice concentrate to drippings in skillet; stir over high heat until reduced by ⅓. Stir in bourbon; heat through. Stir in remaining salt and pepper; pour sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with the almonds.
