Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine chicken quarters, garlic, oregano, pepper, and coarse salt to taste, vinegar, olive oil, prunes, olives, capers and juice, and bay leaves. Cover and let marinate refrigerated overnight.

Preheat oven to 350.

Arrange chicken in a single later in 1 or 2 large shallow baking pans and spoon marinade over it evenly.

Sprinkle chicken pieces with brown sugar and pour white wine around them.

Bake for 50-60 minutes basting frequently with pan juices. Chicken is done when thigh pieces pricked with a fork at their thickest, yield clear yellow rather than pink juice

With 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 or cilantro. Pass remaining pan juices in a sauce boat. To serve chicken marbella cold, cool to room temperature in cooking juices before transferring to a platter. If chicken has been covered and refrigerated, allow it to return to room temperature before serving.

Spoon some of the reserved juice over chicken.
