Chicken Marbella
Ingredients
- 10 pounds chicken thighs
- 8 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- 1/4 cup dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup pitted prunes
- 1/2 cup pitted green olives, sliced
- 1/3 cup capers with a bit of juice
- 6 bay leaves
- 1 cup white wine
Instructions
- Divide the garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, vinegar, olive oil, prunes, olives, capers, and bay leaves evenly among two gallon-sized ziploc bags. Add the chicken pieces to both bags and seal tightly. Use hands to distribute marinade evenly around the chicken and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Arrange chicken pieces in a single layer in a large roasting pan or two large baking pans. Pour white wine around chicken pieces. Depending on the size of the chicken pieces, bake 50-75 minutes, until chicken becomes golden brown and juices run clear. Baste with juices every 15 minutes.
- Transfer chicken, prunes, and olives to a serving platter and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Serve the remaining sauce on the side.
