- 1 (2.5 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2/3 cup plum jam
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
- 1 1/4 teaspoons prepared horseradish (optional)
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste and place skin-side-up onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is baking, stir together the plum jam, 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper, ginger, and horseradish in a small bowl. After the chicken has baked 20 minutes, brush with the plum glaze and return to the oven.
- Continue baking until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
