Grandma's Secret Chicken Recipe (Best of 2007)

There's a certain magic in preparing a family recipe. Some recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. If we're lucky we make a point of writing down the delicious recipes of our childhood. Sometimes "secret" ingredients and recipes never make it onto paper. This is very sad. (The death of a recipe!) Make a point of recording your family recipes on a regular basis. Your kids will appreciate it so much, and special family memories will always be remembered through your favourite dishes.

I have a recipe my grandma used to make and then my mom used to make it, and now I make it. It's not a complicated recipe, but it will always be in our family because it tastes so good. It also conjures up some carefree childhood memories for me. We'd often have this dish on a hot summer day. My mom would make it ahead of time in the morning and we would it eat cold with rice for supper. I remember sneaking pieces before dinnertime because the taste was so addictive...

Here's the recipe:

Mix together: 1 packet of dry onion soup mix, 250ml of Russian salad dressing and 1 c. of apricot jam. Add 2 lbs. of chicken drumettes. Mix well. Chop up 8-10 dried apricots into slivers and place on top of the mixture. Bake covered at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, then bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees uncovered. The sauce tastes great over rice or mashed potatoes.
