Instructions
- In a giant mixing bowl, stir together the oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers and their juices, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.
- Add the chicken thighs. With your hands, turn gently to coat them evenly. Cover and refrigerate overnight; turn the chicken once or twice while it marinates so the flavors permeate it evenly.
- When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the refrigerator to take off the chill, place a rack in the center of your oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the chicken skin-side up in a large roasting pan, being careful not to overlap them. Pour the marinade all over and around the chicken.
- Pour the wine around the chicken (but not on top of them). Sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Then, sprinkle with the brown sugar.
- Bake the chicken Marbella for 40 to 50 minutes, until the chicken thighs register 145°F on an instant read thermometer. Sprinkle with parsley, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- To serve, transfer the chicken, prunes, and olives and all of the juices to a serving platter (or just set the dish right in the table). Serve hot with rice or baguette and lots of the juices spooned all over everything.
