ingredients

3 pounds broiler-fryer chicken
1 quart sauerkraut
1 red chili pepper dried, crushed
1/2 teaspoon rosemary crumbled
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste

directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut chicken into serving pieces. Wash and pat dry with paper towel and set aside.

In a strainer, rinse sauerkraut with cold water. Press with back of spoon until all moisture has been pressed out. Toss with ground pepper and rosemary and spread evenly in oiled 9-inch square baking dish.

Arrange chicken, skin side up, over top of sauerkraut. Brush with lemon juice and oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to taste.

Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove foil during last half of baking to allow chicken to brown.
