Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the chicken pieces lightly with salt.
  2. Arrange chicken in a single layer in a broiling pan.
  3. Broil chicken until skin is light gold and cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the broiled chicken pieces to a large casserole dish or serving platter.
  5. Drain the canned cherries, reserving the syrup.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine the reserved cherry syrup, sherry, and 1 cup of orange juice.
  7. Bring the liquid mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  8. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of orange juice to create a smooth slurry.
  9. Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering cherry mixture.
  10. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in the grated lemon rind.
  12. Spoon the thickened cherry sauce over the chicken pieces.
  13. Garnish with whole cherries if desired and serve immediately.
