Instructies
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sauce, preserves, garlic, and hot sauce and heat, stirring constantly, over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and very warm.
Set aside.
Using a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half.
Rub all of the pieces with apple cider vinegar, then apply the rub to the pieces, making sure to get it all over both sides and into the skin.
Brush olive oil on a large baking sheet.
Place the chicken pieces skin side down on the pan.
Roast for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and brush the sauce all over the bottom of the pieces.
Use a spatula to very gently flip the pieces over, taking care not to tear the chicken skin.
Brush the skin of each piece with the sauce.
Return the chicken to the oven for another 7 to 10 minutes to allow the sauce to set into the skin.
Remove the pan from the oven once more.
Increase the temperature in the oven to 425°F.
While it is preheating, brush a final coating of sauce onto each piece, using up all the sauce.
Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce browns around the edges and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
