Skillet Cranberry Chicken

It’s beginning to look like another cranberry recipe at our house. Skillet Cranberry Chicken offers another festive look at the table and it is easy to make on rushed evenings. The truth is that I have too many cranberries and I do love to cook with them  There is enough baking in the house and so I am going for a sweet and sour sauce or agrodolce.  The combination of the brown sugar and vinegar will compliment the cranberries.

This chicken is a comfort dish because it is sticky and finger-licking good.  There is something about a good glaze on a chicken. Another one of my favourite sticky chicken dishes: https://recipesatmytable.com/baked-orange-chicken/
