Instructions

Peel and chop the garlic cloves, or use a mini food processor.
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, mix garlic, basil, oregano, bay leaves, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and brown sugar.
Add green olives, pitted prunes, capers, a pinch of salt, and chicken thighs; mix well to coat the chicken.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least for 3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
Arrange the chicken and marinade in a large baking pan or two smaller pans to avoid overcrowding.
Pour white wine around the chicken, avoiding splashes on the chicken skin.
Roast for 50 minutes to 1 hour until the chicken is cooked through and skins are golden, reaching an internal temperature of 74C/165F.
Sprinkle chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked.
This dish pairs well with rice or a fresh salad.
