Treasure Chest Chicken
Some recipes are just treasures, and none has been more popular around the Mr. Food Test Kitchen than this one for chicken. Aptly named Treasure Chest Chicken, it is a combo of unexpected flavors and textures that takes your taste buds to faraway lands.
Notes
- This is great served hot or cold.
- You can also marinate the chicken in a glass baking dish. Just be sure to turn the chicken occasionally during the marinating process.
- This tasty chicken dish goes great with a side of our Mushroom Rice Pilaf.

What exactly does skin side up mean? A whole chicken should have skin on all sides Also has anyone made this without the apricots?

Mr. Food, Thankyou for your Treasure Chest Chicken I plan to try it tomorrow. I'm a late bloomer becoming a cook. When I get in the kitchen I can stay for hours and loose track of time. I started a folder for you and gave you e-mail for the book of recipes. Love the NBC show with you. You make cooking so much fun. Thanks, Kathy

Saw your show this morning. My husband and son love plain ole fried chicken, but I'm always looking for a way to "spice it up" because I get so bored with the same old thing. Thanks for this recipe--sounds great!
