  • Rinse chicken and pat dry. Arrange in prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • In a small bowl, stir together apricots, preserves, Russian dressing, duck sauce and onion soup mix. Pour over chicken.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 1 hour. Skin should be crisp and brown. Serve immediately.
  • For an attractive garnish, add a few cinnamon sticks before serving. If you are lucky enough to find fresh, ripe apricots, pit and slice a few. Place over chicken before serving.
