Recipe - Hot Glazed Chicken

See instructions

howdy all chile aficionados. Remember that notice about the feb. 15 hotluck
chez michele in San Francisco? It actually happened and i am still here to
tell you all about it, oh, one and a half months or so after all the
fanfare.

Shred equals parts of enough carrot, celery & onion to provide a bed (read
on) for the amount of chicken you want to cook. Add enough water or stock
to just come to the top of the shredded veges. Bring to a boil, then turn
down to a simmer for 30 minutes, to extract flavor, covered, to keep from
drying out. (Read on refers to here.)Push chicken down into the veges until
completely covered by veges, let return to a simmer and simmer 10 minutes,
covered, to flavor the chicken. Remove chicken to baking dishes, counting
the number of chicken pieces I had 24 thighs and 18 breasts. Add one
garlic clove (or fewer) plus one stemmed habanero pepper (or fewer) I
added 42 garlic cloves and 36 habaneros to the vege bed for each piece of
chicken. Simmer 10 minutes to soften garlic and peppers. Blend until very
smooth. Measure into large bowl or pot.

Put in One half that measured volume of a blended fruit plus preserves. (I had 2
quarts of blended veges, so I used a pint of apricot preserves and added
dried apricots with blending until there was 1 quart of the blend.) Mix the
fruit and veges blends together, pour over chicken, saving the extra sauce.
Bake the dishes, covered, at 350F for 20 minutes. Dump all the baking
dishes (chicken and liquid) into a large bowl and pour the reserved sauce
over it, stir well to mix the liquid and sauce, and serve. Fortytwo
chicken pieces makes 42 portions for dainty eaters, 21 for regular, 14 for
hungry, or about One half portion for TAZ. Posted to CHILEHEADS DIGEST V3 #307
