Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 0.5 cup pitted prunes
  • 0.5 cup green olives
  • 3 tbsp capers
  • 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Method
 

  1. Combine the prunes, olives, capers, vinegar and olive oil, then marinate the chicken in it overnight if you can.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  3. Arrange the chicken and marinade in a baking dish and sprinkle with brown sugar.
  4. Bake 50 minutes, basting once or twice, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  5. Spoon the pan sauce over the top to serve.

Notes

Even a one-hour marinade makes a big difference if you're short on time.
