I love a sweet chicken on Friday night that’s been cooking for hours and then some on the blech, to the point where the chicken slides right off the bone when you’re ready to eat it. The dried fruit in this recipe gives it so much flavor, and it’s delicious alone — it tastes just like a tzimmes.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 4 chicken legs

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/2 cup diced dried apricots

Directions

Make the Chicken

1.

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

2.

Sprinkle the chicken with the spices, then arrange the dried fruit on top and around the chicken.

3.

Mix together remaining ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle over the chicken.

4.

Bake for two hours covered and one hour uncovered. As soon as you remove the chicken from the oven, baste it with some of the gravy.

Notes:

If you would like to use a whole chicken cut in eighths, I would recommend placing the tops in a separate pan with half of the dried fruit and sauce ingredients and baking for an extra 30 minutes covered and 15–20 minutes uncovered. Baste again with the sauce when it comes out of the oven.

I’ve made this chicken many times and it always comes out delicious! It’s moist and flavorful and perfect for this Tishrei season.
