Yummy! I didn't have any Russian dressing, so made recipe #359226 which worked really well. I used chicken pieces and was very pleased how this came out. The sauce is really good and was also good over mashed potatoes. Thanks Ackman for sharing. Made for Best of 2010 Tag.

This is so good!! The sauce ingredients sound a little weird together but when they come together they make an amazing sauce. I used drumsticks and bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and cooked it for 1 hour 15 minutes and the chicken was perfect. Nicely cooked and very juicy! Will be making this again!!
