    If this was made in the oven, what temperature would you use and for how long? Thank you.

      Hi Tammy,
      If I made it in the oven I would roast the chicken at 425 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, until the chicken is cooked through. I might even baste it the last 15 minutes with the Apricot Glaze,that would be yummy. Hope you enjoy the chicken and thanks so much for stopping by!
      Have a great weekend,
      Miz Helen
