Ruby Chicken

Cut a whole chicken into pieces or what I do is cut 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into pieces maybe about 3 or 4 inches. Coat chicken with salted flour and brown in frying pan with 4 T butter or margarine. While the chicken is browning, in a saucepan combine 1 and 1/2 cups fresh/frozen whole cranberries, 3/4 cups sugar, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1 tsp grated orange peel, 3/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ginger. (Don't forget the sugar. I did that once and it was really sour!) Heat to boiling and pour over browned chicken pieces. Cover and simmer until tender, about 30-35 minutes. If you take the lid off the last few minutes, the sauce will thicken up a bit.
