Fancy Apricot Chicken

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This was too labor intensive,using a whole bird. I changed the prep.In saucepan,add pressed garlic,butter,
    curry powder, a little water and cayenne pepper,simmer, pour over chicken pieces. use thighs&breasts.Then add apricots, cinnamon and onion. I cooked 375* for 35 minutes wrapped in the foil. Removed apricots, cinnamon and onion. Did not use or make the rice or sauce.That for my taste would be too much curry.
    Served chicken with mashed potatoes.You could make the rice and sauce and cook in microwave and cut the time down again. My time was a total of 45 minutes compared to 3 hrs. 30 minutes. I am rating a four because of the steps involved. I would make again but adapt more ie cinnamon powder instead of sticks, etc.
