Sticky Sweet Passover Chicken

Submitted by Ilysse

"I made this for Passover this year and it was a hit. It is so easy to make but looks lovely and makes an impression. If you are making this for Passover and don't use garlic during Passover you can leave it out. The origional recipe that a friend gave me didn't use the garlic or the onion. It also called for raspberry perserves but I couldn't find KLP raspberry. Also, if you make this for Passover, just before it is fully cooked turn the oven off and let it sit in the hot oven while you have your seder. It will be perfect by the time you get to it. This is great for Passover or any day. This recipe is for 1-4 people as it only calls for 1 hen but I used 5 hens for our seder so this can be easily multiplied. I served this with roasted potatoes and roasted carrots with peas."
