Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 whole chickens, each cut into eighths (2-1/2 lbs each)
12 large garlic cloves, finely minced
3 tablespoons dried thyme
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup best quality olive oil
8 teaspoons green peppercorns, soaked in water and drained
2 cups whole pitted black olives
3 cups dried apricots
2 cups dried small figs
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup red wine
2 cups large pecan pieces
4 grated lemons, zest of

Steps:

  • The day before, combine the chicken, garlic, thyme, cumin, ginger, salt, wine vinegar, oil, peppercorns, olives, apricots, and figs in 2 large bowls, dividing the ingredients equally; marinate covered in the refrigerator overnight. Mix several times during the day. Remove the bowls from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Arrange chicken in single layer in 2 large, heavy shallow baking pans. Spoon marinade evenly over both pans. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and pecans and pour the wine evenly between the pieces in both pans.
  • Cover the pans with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake, basting frequently with the pan juices, 50 minutes.
  • Using a fork and slotted spoon, transfer the chicken, olives, dried fruit, and pecans to a large serving platter. Drizzle with a few large spoonfuls of the pan juices.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. This recipe uses a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breast can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, couscous, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
  • Garnish the chicken with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the chicken with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or mint. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
