Chicken With Plum Barbecue Sauce

Submitted by dicentra

"This comes from my Eat Well, Stay Well cookbook. This is a tangy-sweet, sticky way to fix chicken. YUM. I can't always find plum jam, so I use currant. This freezes well too. I mix everything together in a bowl, add the chicken, toss to coat and then put in labeled Ziploc bags. Thaw before broiling."

Really good! Sauce is a wonderful combination of flavors. Didn't read the directions and ended up mixing the spices into the sauce. Doubled the recipe using homemade pluot jam. Topped 15 drumsticks with 1/3 sauce, baked at 350 for 20 min. Turned over, topped with 1/3 sauce, baked another 20 min. Turned over, topped with remaining sauce, broiled at 400 for about 10 minutes. The whole family enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
