3 lbs. fryer chicken
Salt, pepper, paprika
1 1/2 tsp. oil
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
3/4 c. ketchup
3 tbsp. white vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 c. mandarin oranges, drained
6 tbsp. syrup from mandarin oranges

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Rinse chicken, pat dry. Remove excess fat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Place skin side down in a 13"x9" baking dish. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and drain off liquid. Return chicken to oven, bake 15 minutes longer.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat oil. Add onion and green pepper, saute until barely tender (about 3 minutes). Add ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar and salt. Blend cornstarch and mandarin orange syrup. Stir into sauce. Cook and stir until smooth and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken. Bake 10 minutes longer. Add mandarin oranges. Bake 3 to 5 minutes longer, until oranges are heated through. Serves 4.
