Chicken Marbella

Directions

1. 1
   In a large sealable bowl (to keep your refrigerator from reeking), combine chicken quarters, garlic, oregano, pepper, salt, vinegar, olive oil, prunes, olives, capers and juice and bay leaves.
2. 2
   Cover and let marinate overnight in the refrigerator. (Note:
3. 3
   The chicken must be marinated overnight to blend the flavors and to keep the chicken moist.)
4. 4
   Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange chicken in a single layer in one or two large, shallow baking pans and spoon marinade over it evenly.
5. 5
   Sprinkle chicken pieces with brown sugar and pour white wine around them.
6. 6
   Bake for 50 minutes to an hour, basting frequently with pan juices.
7. 7
   Chicken is done when thigh pieces pricked with a fork at their thickest, yield clear yellow (rather than pink) juice.
8. 8
   With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken, prunes, olives and capers to a serving platter. Moisten with a few spoonfuls of pan juices and sprinkle generously with parsley.
9. 9
   Pass remaining pan juices in a sauceboat.
