Season 1 cup flour with 1 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (e.g. garlic salt, thyme, pepper). Dip 1 side of each piece chicken in flour. Place flour side up in baking dish (Pam dish). Drizzle about 1/2 cup melted butter over pieces. That much can be done ahead. Bake 40 minutes at 450 degrees.

1 c. pineapple or orange juice
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. corn starch mixed with little of the juice
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tbsp. soy sauce

Cook until thickened stirring frequently. Can be done ahead and reheated.

FRUIT:

At serving time:

Put hot baked chicken on large serving dish. Pour heated sweet and sour sauce over chicken. Toss fruit and dump all over top of chicken and sauce. Serve with rice.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
