CHINESE APRICOT CHICKEN

Makes 6 servings
 

INGREDIENTS

1 whole chicken (4 LB), cut up
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sherry
3 tbsp catsup
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp peanut oil
6 fresh apricots (3/4 LB), halved
3 green onions, cut into 2-inch slivers
 

DIRECTIONS

Cut chicken parts into 2-inch pieces, using a cleaver, whacking straight down through the bone (or have a butcher do it for you).

Combine vinegar, water, sugar, soy sauce, sherry, catsup, and cornstarch for sauce; set aside.

In a wok or large frying pan, heat oil and stir-fry chicken over high heat 10 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

Add apricots; stir-fry 1 minute.

Pour sauce mixture over chicken; cook, stirring until thickened.

Garnish with green onion slivers.
