Sweet 'n Sour Chicken

1 cup ketchup
3/4 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced celery
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2-3 pounds broiler or fryer chicken pieces

In a one-quart microwavable container, combine all ingredients except chicken. Microwave on high 3-4 minutes or until sauce is hot and bubbly. Stir and set to one side.

Arrange chicken in a 12x8-inch casserole dish with bony side up and meatiest portions toward the outside of the dish. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave on high for 8 minutes. Drain. Turn and rearrange chicken. Pour sauce over chicken. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave 7-12 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and meat next to the bone is no longer pink. Serves four.
