This dish is great for company because you do most of the work the day before and some of the ingredients may sound gross (prunes) but trust me it is a winner!!!

Ingredients:

5# chicken pieces bone in skinless

10 cloves of garlic, pressed

1/8 cup dried pregano

Sea salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup pitted prunes

1/4 cup green salad olives (pimiento stuffed)

1/4 cup capers, with  some juice

3 bay leaves

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white wine (I use the little 4 pack bottles)

In a large Tupperware type bowl combine  garlic, oregano, pepper and Sea salt to taste along with vinegar, olive oil, prunes, olives, capers (w/ a little juice), bay leaves.  Stir and add chicken pieces, tossing to cover.  Refrigerate overnight or all day and night.  I like to have a nice bowl with lid and shake it up every now and then.

When it’s time to prepare meal: Preheat oven to 350. Put chicken in large baking pan and spoon juice over it.  Sprinkle with brown sugar and pour white wine around the chicken.  Bake for about 50 minutes to one hour or until done.  Serve chicken with all of that good juice over the chicken and over the Jasmine rice.  You will get rave reviews!  Also, this freezes very well.
