CHICKEN MARBELLA

Course: Entrées
Servings: 10 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup prunes pitted
  • ½ cup Spanish green olives pitted
  • 1 head of garlic peeled and puréed
  • ¼ cup dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 whole chickens quartered
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, create a marinade of olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, turning to coat, then cover bowl and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In several shallow baking dishes (depending on size), arrange chicken pieces in a single layer and pour remaining marinade over tops. Sprinkle brown sugar on chicken, then pour wine around it.
  • Basting regularly, bake chicken until internal temperature is 145 degrees (about 50 minutes to 1 hour). Transfer chicken and accompaniments to a serving tray with a few spoonfuls of pan juices and sprinkle with parsley. Put remaining juices in another bowl or gravy boat for serving.
