The recipe I tried last night didn't taste that good. It included:

3 lbs chicken (in large pieces, not diced)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
pineapple chunks
orange chunks
apple slices
1 tsp. curry
1 tsp. ginger
1 tb. garlic
1/4 cup brandy

You cook it awhile on the burner, then bake it for an hour, take it
out and pour flaming brandy over it.

The trouble is, some of it seemed to taste bitter. Maybe because of
the brandy? (I used Cognac.) The recipe called for sour apples, but
I'm not familiar with that term, so I used small Granny Smiths. Not to
mention that aside from the chicken, it seemed mostly mushy. Too much
butter, maybe? I was using fresh citrus fruits, not canned, so I
didn't have any extra juice to pour in, as they recommended - but as I
said, it was still mushy. Also, since I didn't have garlic powder, I
used diced fresh garlic - but that didn't seem to account for the
bitter taste.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Lenona.
