Ingredients:


3 1/2 pounds chicken -- cut in pieces

4 large garlic cloves -- finely minced

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 cup pitted prunes

1/2 cup dried apricots

2 pieces bay leaves

1/2 cup green olives -- pitted/sliced

2 tablespoons capers

1 tablespoon caper juice

1/2 cup brown sugar *

3/4 cup chardonnay or dry white wine
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a large bowl, combine chicken, garlic, oregano, olive oil, vinegar, prunes, apricots, bay leaves, olives, capers and caper juice. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours. Preheat oven to 350F. Arrange chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking pan and spoon marinade evenly over chicken. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pour Chardonnay around chicken. Bake 45 minutes, basting every 15-20 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken, fruit, olives, and capers to a serving platter. Pour several spoonfuls of pan juices over chicken. Serve remaining pan juices in a sauce boat. Any dry white wine may be substituted for Chardonnay. *Use 1/4 cup brown sugar to start off with, I think 1/2 cup brown sugar may be a bit too much.
