In a World of My Own: English Country Chicken

This meal was wonderful. The hardest prep work was cutting up the chicken. Here it is served with a brown rice pilaf and green beans. I did make a few slight changes to this recipe. I made it with a roaster instead of a chicken (believe it or not the roaster was cheaper). The recipe also calls for a 16-oz jar orange marmalade. Have you ever seen a 16-oz jar of orange marmalade in the supermarket? I found a 12-oz jar and an 18-oz jar, but not 16-oz. So I went with the 18-oz. I also made the sauce right in the pan I baked the chicken in. I figured why waste a pan.
