Total Time:1 day 50 minutes
Course: Main Course

Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup pitted prunes
  • ½ cup pitted olives
  • ½ cup capers with a bit of juice
  • 6 bay leaves
  • 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
  • ¼ cup dried french herbs
  • 4 chickens, quartered
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup dry white wine

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers and juice, bay leaves, garlic, dried herbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Cover the bowl and leave overnight to marinate in the fridge.

  • Bake the chicken for 50 minutes, basting frequently with the pan juices until the chicken is cooked (the juices will run clear).
  • To serve place the chicken with a slotted spoon onto a serving dish, with some prunes, olives and capers around them. Add the fresh herbs on top and serve.
