Ingredients

1 broiler/fryer chicken (3-1/2 to 4 pounds), cut up
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 cans (16-1/2 ounces each) whole plums, pitted
1/2 cup honey

Drain plums, reserving syrup; remove pits and coarsely chop plums in a food processor. Pour into a measuring cup; add enough syrup to equal 2 cups. Place in a saucepan. Add honey, vinegar and garlic; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Pour over chicken.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
