Ruby Chicken

I made it in an electric skillet, originally, when I first made it 25 years ago.

A 2 1/2-3 lb. broiler-fryer, cut up
Flour, 1/3 Cup
Salt, 1 teaspoon
Olive Oil or Butter, for cooking chicken in
Fresh Cranberries, 1 1/2 Cups
Sugar, 3/4 Cup
Onion, chopped, 1/4 Cup
Orange Juice, 3/4 Cup
Orange Zest, 1 teaspoon, (optional)
Ground Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon
Ground Ginger, 1/4 teaspoon

Coat chicken pieces in flour and salt.

Brown chicken pieces in butter, or olive oil, turning once.

Meanwhile, put remaining ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil, then pour over chicken in the skillet.

Cover and cook slowly for 35-40 mins, or until chicken is tender.

You don't have to use the spices if you don't want them, nor the zest. I use more onions.
