Ingredients:
– 8 chicken thighs (on the bone, with skin)
– 1 package dry French onion soup mix
– 1 (8 oz) bottle Russian dressing (preferably Wishbone Russian dressing)
– 1 small jar of apricot preserves (about a cupful)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2. In a bowl, mix together the dry French onion soup mix, Russian dressing, and apricot preserves.
3. Place the chicken thighs in a baking pan and sprinkle them with pepper. No additional salt is needed.
4. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are coated well.
5. Roast the chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. During cooking, baste the chicken with the sauce several times.
