Sweet and Hot Chicken

This recipe was the award winner in the main dish catergory of the Kansan`s Silver Spoon Cookbook of 1968, It was published May 31, 1968.I did do things alittle different when I made it though.

Sweet and Hot Chicken
Mrs. Vincent C. Solomon

1/2 cup butter ( used Margarine)
1/2 cup red current jelly ( or light colored tart jelly)
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 cup orange juice
3 dashes Tabasco sauce
1 quartered chicken or 2 to 4 cornish hens( I used chicken tenders)

Combine all ingredients, except chickens and heat, stirring until jelly is melted and sauce is smooth. Cool. Place chicken in baking dish and pour sauce over it and let marinate over night. Turn occussionally. ( I only marinated it for 6 hours)

Topping 4 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoon mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar

Combine these ingredients and spread over chicken the next morning. Place lid on baking dish and cook1 hour at 350 degrees. Uncover and increase temperature to 400 degrees. Baste frequently until chicken is even dark brown. Serve with rice.
