  • 4 lbs. chicken pieces fryer cut into pieces
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup cranberry-raspberry cocktail unsweetened
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground allspice
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler in your oven.
  • Place the chicken pieces in a 9×13 inch baking dish and broil them for a few minutes to brown and partially cook them.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, cornstarch, sugar, cranberry-raspberry cocktail, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.
  • Cook the raspberry mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes syrupy.
  • Remove the partially cooked chicken from the baking dish and drain any excess liquid.
  • Pour the raspberry glaze over the chicken pieces in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
  • Serve hot, spooning the raspberry glaze over the chicken pieces.
