Cherry Chicken
Ingredients
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces, salt and pepper to taste, ½ cup all-purpose flour for dusting, 1 (15 ounce) can pitted dark cherries packed in water, ½ cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 orange - with peel, quartered and thinly sliced, ½ cup slivered almonds, toasted
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Fry the chicken until browned on all sides, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for about 25 minutes until the juices run clear. Remove the chicken and drain all but 1/4 cup of the fat. Return the skillet to the heat and stir in cherries and sugar, reserving a small amount of cherry liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil. Blend cornstarch with the reserved liquid and stir it into the pan until thickened. Add orange slices and almonds, then return the chicken to the skillet. Coat the meat with the sauce and simmer on low for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
