Ingredients
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 cup large pitted prunes
- 1 cup large green olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup capers
- 1 head garlic, cloves separated, crushed, and skins removed
- 3 tablespoon dried oregano
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 6 lb. bone-in skin-on chicken pieces
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
- 1/2 small bunch parsley, roughly chopped
Preparations
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Add chicken to marinade and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Transfer to the refrigerator and marinate for 2 to 6 hours, tossing mixture every few hours to ensure even marination.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 F. Transfer chicken and marinade to a large roasting pan. Pour wine all over and sprinkle brown sugar over chicken.
Step 3
Bake chicken, basting every 20 minutes with pan juices, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 150 F, 50 to 60 minutes total.
Step 4
Increase oven to 500 F and roast until chicken skin is deeply golden, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Remove chicken, olives, and prunes onto a platter and cover loosely with foil. Transfer pan juices to a medium saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat and let reduce by half, about 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and whisk in cold butter and parsley.
Step 6
Serve chicken with a drizzle of pan juice reduction.
