This is my go-to recipe when I want to make a chicken that is easy, flavorful, and consistently good. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and sour and always results in a moist, delicious dish.
8 chicken bottoms, or 2 broiler chickens, cut into quarters or eighths
onion powder, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
salt, to taste
paprika, to taste
1 14-ounce (397-gram) can cranberry sauce
1/2 cup Gefen Duck Sauce
2 tablespoons Tio Pepe Light Sherry or other sherry cooking wine
1/4 cup Gefen Honey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Lay chicken pieces in a 9×13-inch pan or oven-to-tableware dish. Season lightly with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and paprika. Cover and bake for one hour.
Meanwhile, mix together the cranberry sauce, duck sauce, sherry, and honey in a medium-sized bowl until relatively smooth.
Remove chicken from oven and pour the cranberry mixture over the chicken. Return chicken to oven and bake uncovered for an additional 45-60 minutes.

Long Cooking time? the total 2 hr cooking time at that temperature for chicken seems excessive to me. Doesn’t the meat dry out?
I hear you Natalie. I have definitely done dark meat for an hour and a half. I will double check. I think the best way to make chicken, since size of pieces is such a variable that will affect the outcome, is to test it with an oven thermometer at the 1 and a half hour mark. If it’s 160 you are good to go.
What is sherry cooking wine Where would I find it? I’m based in Israel
HI Rivka.
I am not sure where you can find this exact ingredient in Israel. I will contact someone who would be answer that better. In the meantime, have no fear! (Not that cooking should ever instill fear.) You can substitute the sherry with a nice Cabernet, or even better, a Merlot. And if you still feel that fear, take a swig or two of them while you are cooking…
