CHICKEN MARBELLA, UPDATED
Steps:
- Combine the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the marinade. (You can also place the chicken and marinade in a 2-gallon plastic storage bag and squeeze out the air to make sure the chicken is fully covered with the marinade.) Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally to be sure the marinade is getting into all of the chicken pieces.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken, skin side up, along with the marinade in one layer in a large (15-by-18-inch) roasting pan, sprinkle with the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, and pour the wine around (not over!) the chicken. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken is 145 degrees F. Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Transfer the chicken, prunes, and olives to a serving platter, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot with the pan juices.

Steps:
- Arrange the chicken in a large baking dish and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, dates, olives, capers with their brine, parsley, oregano, garlic and bay leaves in a large bowl. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken. Flip and rotate the chicken to coat it completely. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- When you are ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Let the chicken sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.
- Arrange the chicken pieces so that they are all skin-side up. Spoon the marinade from the bottom of the dish over the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with the brown sugar. Pour the wine around the chicken. Bake, basting every 10 to 15 minutes with the pan juices, until the chicken is brown on top, the juices run clear when pierced and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, 50 to 60 minutes. Baste the chicken with its juices, then transfer it to a large platter. Spoon the olives, capers and dates over the chicken with a slotted spoon, only including a little of the sauce. Serve the remaining sauce on the side, if desired.

Steps:
- Season the chicken thighs and drumsticks all over with the salt. Using your hands, rub the pureed garlic and 1 tablespoon of oregano all over the chicken to coat evenly.
- In a 9x13-inch glass baking dish, mix together the plums, apricots, red wine vinegar, olive oil, green olives, capers, remaining 2 tablespoons of oregano, and bay leaves.
- Add the chicken to the baking dish and turn to coat, then turn so the skin side is facing up. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator overnight, about 12 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
- While the oven preheats, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Using a paper towel, pat the chicken skin to remove any excess moisture.
- Sprinkle the chicken skin with the brown sugar. Pour the rosé around the chicken, but avoid pouring directly onto the skin.
- Bake the chicken for 35-40 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh, near the bone, reads 160˚F (70°C) and the skin is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. During this time, the residual heat from cooking will bring the internal temperature of the chicken to 165˚F (75°C).
- Serve the chicken and sauce over couscous and garnish with the basil.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Use a Dutch Oven: A Dutch oven is the best pot for making chicken Marbella because it distributes heat evenly and can withstand high temperatures. If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Sear the Chicken: Searing the chicken before braising it helps to develop flavor and color. Make sure you pat the chicken dry before searing it.
- Use Good Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh, flavorful chicken and vegetables.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken Marbella is best when the chicken is cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Let the Dish Rest: After cooking, let the chicken Marbella rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and meld together.
Conclusion:
Chicken Marbella is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and impressive dish that your family and friends will love.
