For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a dash of red pepper flakes to the plum glaze. Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly spaced on the baking sheet to promote even cooking. If the plum glaze starts to burn during the final baking stage, tent the chicken loosely with foil. Feel free to adjust the amount of horseradish to suit your taste preferences.

Step
25 mins
After the chicken has baked for 20 minutes, brush it generously with the plum glaze. Return it to the oven and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, approximately 20 to 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (20-30 minutes)

Step
7 mins
Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
