Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a 10x6x2-inch baking dish, combine the brown sugar beans, peach preserves, soy sauce, tomato catsup, and chopped onion. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Nestle the chicken pieces into the bean mixture, placing them skin-side down to coat the bottom evenly.
  4. Carefully turn the chicken pieces over so they are skin-side up.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  6. Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for 30 minutes, basting the chicken with the sauce occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is caramelized.

Note

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking the internal temperature reaches 165ðF (74ðC) in the thickest part of the meat.

If using chicken breasts instead of thighs, reduce the initial covered baking time to 45 minutes to prevent drying out.

For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the bean mixture.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
