1 chicken cut into pieces , or a package of chicken parts.
1 jar of Smuckers orange - apricot preserves
1 bottle of Wishbone Russian salad dressing

pineapple rings and maraschino cherries
Mix together all ingredients except cherries and pineapple rings. Pour over chicken parts . Garnish with pineapple rings and cherries. Bake, covered , for 45 minutes, and uncovered for another 45 minutes. Nice served over rice-white or brown , add green peas to the rice if you'd like. I keep a frozen bag of peas handy so I can microwave them and use as needed. The sauce is nice on the rice.
