This recipe looks simple and interesting but was very disappointing. When it was done cooking, there was a thick layer of oil floating on top and the flavor tasted like it was trying to approximate barbeque but wasn't quite managing it. I'd rather save myself the money and just bake the chicken in a bottle of barbeque sauce, it tastes better too.

Delicious served it with cous cous with raisins and toasted slivered almonds and steamed broccoli. I decided to try this recipe because it reminded me of one my mother-in-law made. she used catalina(not sure of sp.) dressing, but is similar to russian and canned grapefruit. I always liked the chicken part but apricots are far better.

This was a hit in my house. I used chicken wings, instead, and added some hot sauce for zing. It was a finger-licking success! Just make sure you line the pan with foil and use plenty of non-stick spray.

The chicken was excellent. This was so easy to make. It is nice when you have company over or just when you come in from work and need a quick meal.

This is the best. It's so easy to make and so delicious. The longer you cook it in the oven, the better. I serve it over rice.I also use chicken wings with this sauce for an appetizer. Everyone loves it.

I or I should say our family loved this. I served it on a bed of plain white rice with steamed brocoli and some black eyed peas as sides. Very good flavor. If you like sweet and sour you will like this. Not as sweet. This will be a once a week meal it was so good. Couldn't be any easier and very inexpensive to make. Hard to believe such a simple recipe deserves 5 stars.

Oh, Paula you have GOT to try this!!! Very similar to the "Apricot Chicken" recipe posted here on 'Zaar. It is FANTASTIC!!! I like it served over cooked rice, but it is also wonderful over mashed potatoes. Great recipe! ~Manda

I use this sauce mix for pork loin. I mix an extra large batch of the sauce and pour over a pork loin to be slow cooked in a roaster or moderate oven. After the pork is cooked, I pull it out, slice it and make another smaller batch of sauce (simmered on the stove) to pour over as a glaze on the serving platter. (The sauce that it was cooked in is usually too greasy to use for serving.) I have rave reviews every time. I have also cooked the pork until it fell apart and then completely shredded it for a type of BBQ pork sandwiches. I usually add additional bottled BBQ sauce to the final product with this recipe. Hope everyone enjoys!

My Mother always made this when we were growing up. She made it in the Crockpot. Thanks for sharing!
