Jacks Apple Butter Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the apple butter, mustard, butter, sugar, celery seed and onion to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; cool.
• Place the chicken in a food storage bag. Pour half of the apple butter mixture over the chicken; reserve remaining mixture. Seal bag; smush around so the chicken gets thoroughly coated. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Heat a grill pan over high heat. Brush off extra sauce from the chicken and discard. Cook chicken, in batches if necessary, turning occasionally, until browned, about 20 minutes. Continue cooking, brushing with reserved marinade, until chicken is cooked through, 15-25 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Heat oil in ovenproof baking dish and brown chicken on one side.
• Turn over and while browning the second side, place sage, thyme, salt and pepper on each piece.
• Spoon one tablespoon apple butter on each, and pour wine over so it is sitting in about 1/4" of wine (drink the rest).
• Cover and bake in oven for about 45-60 minutes.
• Remove chicken, leaving the applesauce and wine.
• Reduce sauce (simmer until thick and creamy).
• Drizzle over chicken, serve over rice or pasta.

Steps:

• Combine the chicken and marinade in a large non-reactive pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 6.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and coat generously with some of the rub. Arrange the chicken, skin side-up, in a baking pan and pour the apple juice in the bottom. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Uncover the chicken and continue roasting, basting with the sauce occasionally, until the skin is golden.
• Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk until the sugar and salt dissolve. Let cool.
• Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25 minutes or until meat juices run clear.
