How to Make Sweet And Savory Baked Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup creamy salad dressing, 1 packet onion soup mix, and 1/4 cup apricot preserves until thoroughly combined.
- Season 4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks work well) generously with salt and pepper.
- Arrange chicken pieces in a single layer in a large baking dish (9x13 inch).
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce is deeply browned and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
- Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving over white rice and steamed broccoli.
