A delightful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a sweet and savory glaze.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the chicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine the apricot preserves, French dressing, and onion soup mix. Stir until well blended.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed in the glaze.
Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Ensure the chicken pieces are not overlapping for even cooking.
Pour the glaze over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Use a spoon to spread the glaze evenly over the chicken.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally with the glaze.
Basting helps keep the chicken moist and enhances the flavor.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
