Sweet And Tangy Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 roasting chicken, cut-up
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/4 ounces dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup Russian salad dressing
1 cup apricot-pineapple preserves
hot cooked rice

Preparation

In a 12x8x2 inch dish, arrange chicken pieces with the thickest, meaty pieces to the outside edges of the dish.
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, soup mix, dressing and preserves.
Spread this mixture over the chicken, coating each piece well.
Cover with wax paper.
Microwave on High for 18-22 minutes. (If your microwave doesn't have a turntable, turn chicken 1/4 turn halfway through cooking time.).
Let stand 5-10 minutes before you serve it so the chicken absorbs the flavor of the sauce.
Serve over rice.
