Comments

Note 1: To use a whole cut-up chicken, double this recipe.

Note 2: You can do this recipe under the broiler of your oven, but watch for burning and adjust cooking temperatures.

Because there is a fairly high amount of sugar in the marmalade, it will have a tendency to burn quickly (the sugar caramelizes), therefore, you will need to baste often and watch the closeness to the heat source.

Delicious served with any rice dish and fresh vegetables. However, my family likes this with Onion Rings.
