Chicken Marbella

Step 1

In a bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, olives, prunes, capers, bay leaves, oregano, salt and pepper. This is the marinade.

Step 2

Arrange chicken pieces in a large baking dish, then add in prepared marinade. Toss until chicken is well coated. Cover with cling wrap and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking, and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 4

Pour white wine into the baking dish and sprinkle the brown sugar atop the chicken pieces.

Step 5

Bake, uncovered, for about 60-65 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 180-185°F when measured with a meat thermometer. Baste with pan juices a few times while the chicken is cooking.

Step 6

Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
