Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, combine chicken with all ingredients except brown sugar, white wine and parsley. Cover and let marinate overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 350 F. Arrange chicken in a single layer in one or two large, shallow oven-safe baking dishes and evenly spoon marinade over top. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pour white wine around it.
3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, basting frequently with pan juices until chicken is done. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken, prunes, olives and capers to a serving platter. Moisten with a few spoonfuls of pan juices and garnish with parsley. Great with mashed potatoes, rice or vegetables.
