Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
• cooking spray
• 1 (2.5 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
• ⅔ cup plum jam
• 1 ¼ teaspoons prepared horseradish (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 3

Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Place skin-side-up onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Meanwhile, stir together plum jam, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, ginger, and horseradish in a small bowl.

Step 5

After chicken has baked 20 minutes, brush with plum glaze and return to the oven. Continue baking until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
