Chicken with juicy plum, dried apricots, green olives, capers, dry white wine and oregano is a festive dish with an amazing aroma. Just mix all the ingredients in a baking dish, marinate and put in the oven, and your house will be filled with summer flavors.
Salt the chicken thighs and shins. Then chop 5 cloves of garlic on a fine grater and rub all the chicken pieces with your hands.
Add 1 tbsp oregano and mix all the chicken pieces well.
Take 5 plums, remove the seeds and cut into slices.
In a baking dish, mix the sliced plums, dried apricots and add a little olive oil.
Add to the plums and dried apricots: green olives, capers with brine, 2 tbsp of remaining oregano, bay leaf, dry white wine and white wine vinegar. Mix everything well.
Place the cooked chicken pieces in a baking dish on the marinade. Mix everything well.
Lay out the chicken pieces so that they are skinned up.
Cover the marinade and chicken form with cling film and refrigerate overnight or for 12 hours for marinating.
Preheat the oven to 190 C degrees. While the oven is heating up, remove the chicken form from the refrigerator and let it heat up to room temperature for 35-40 minutes. Unpeeled garlic – crush 5 cloves with a knife and also add to the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken skin with brown sugar. Pour all the remaining olive oil over the chicken, taking care that it does not get on the chicken’s skin.
Bake the chicken for 50-60 minutes, until the skin turns golden brown and the juice becomes transparent when piercing the meat.
Chicken is very tasty both hot and chilled.
Serve the chicken spread out on a serving platter with capers, olives and plums. The sauce can be poured into a saucepan.
Bon Appetit!
