Note

For a thicker sauce, remove the lid for the last 15-20 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to reduce and caramelize.

Russian dressing can be homemade by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, and horseradish, or purchased pre-made.

This dish reheats well. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

You can substitute the fryer chicken with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts for a similar result.
