• 1 bunch sage
• 2/3 cup apricot preserves

• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 whole chicken, cut into quarters

2. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up in the pan, spaced evenly apart, in a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Roast uncovered, until the skin of the chicken is browned and the meat is cooked through, about 40 minutes. Cover loosely with foil during the cooking if the top begins to get too dark.
