Preparation

Step 1

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Whisk together 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, capers, oregano, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.

Step 3

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working in batches if necessary, add chicken to pan, meaty side down, and cook until well browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken; set aside.

Step 4

Add garlic to drippings in pan; cook, stirring often, until lightly browned and blistered, about 2 minutes. Add wine and bay leaves; cook until reduced by half, about 4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in olives and plums. Nestle chicken into mixture; pour vinegar mixture over chicken. Tuck citrus slices into mixture. Cover and bake at 350°F 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until liquid is thick and glossy, 10 to 15 minutes. Discard bay leaves; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
