...use this recipe. My mom made this for a family get-together, and we couldn't get enough. Even the chicken breasts were tender enough to cut with a fork...and the flavor, well, let's just say this over-night marinade is well worth the effort. Here is the recipe (which serves 8-10):Ingredients:
- 1 (12-ounce) package pitted, bite-size dried plums
- 1 (3.5-ounce) jar capers
- 1 (0.5-ounce) bottle dried oregano
- 6 bay leaves
- 1 garlic bulb, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 cup pimento-stuffed olives
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- 8 pounds mixed chicken pieces
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Preparation:
Combine first 10 ingredients in a large zip-top freezer bag or a large bowl. Add chicken pieces, turning to coat well; seal or cover and chill for at least 8 hours (overnight is best), turning chicken occasionally.
Arrange chicken in a single layer in one or two 13- x 9-inch baking pan(s). Pour marinade evenly over chicken, and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar; pour wine around pieces.
Bake at 350° for 50 minutes to 1 hour, basting frequently.
Remove chicken, dried plums, olives, and capers to serving platter. Drizzle with 3/4 cup pan juices; sprinkle parsley evenly over top. Serve with remaining pan juices.
Enjoy!.........................................XOXO, Tiff.
