Steps:

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:

• Combine chicken, wine, prunes, olive oil, vinegar, capers and liquid, brown sugar, oregano, parsley, olives, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Transfer into 2 resealable bags and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours, the longer the better.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Pour chicken and marinade into a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink inside and juices run clear, about 40 minutes.

• Cover and let marinate, refrigerated, overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Arrange chicken in a single layer in a large, shallow baking pan and spoon marinade over it evenly.
• Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, basting frequently with pan juices. Chicken is done when thigh pieces, pricked with a fork at their thickest, yield clear yellow (rather than pink) juice.
• With a slotted spoon transfer chicken, prunes, olives and capers to a serving platter. Moisten with a few spoonfuls of pan juices and sprinkle generously with parsley or cilantro. Pass remaining pan juices in a sauceboat.
• Note: To serve Chicken Marbella cold, cool to room temperature in cooking juices before transferring to a serving platter. If chicken has been covered and refrigerated, allow it to return to room temperature before serving. Spoon some of the reserved juices over chicken.

• Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour flour mixture into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken to bag, seal, and shake to coat chicken with flour mixture. Pour coated chicken and sliced mushrooms into slow cooker.
• Heat Marsala wine in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until reduced, 2 to 3 minutes; pour into slow cooker and cover.
• Cook in slow cooker set to Low until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 hours. If sauce is too thin, mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and pour slowly into chicken mixture. Cook in slow cooker set to High until thickened, 15 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high until shimmering and tiny wisps of smoke are visible, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, skin-side down, cover and cook until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. (Covering the chicken speeds up the cook time and prevents the oil from splattering all over your stovetop.) Flip chicken, cover again and cook until golden on second side, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Arrange prunes, olives, capers and brine, bay leaves and oregano in between chicken pieces. Sprinkle with brown sugar, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; pour wine and vinegar over top and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter and return pan to high heat. Cook sauce, swirling occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Spoon pan sauce over chicken and serve.

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients; pour over chicken in 13x9-inch baking dish. Refrigerate 4 hours to marinate, turning chicken occasionally.
• Heat oven to 350ºF. Drizzle wine over chicken; sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake 1 hour or until chicken is done (165ºF). Transfer chicken to serving plate; skim oil from sauce. Discard bay leaves. Drizzle sauce over chicken; top with cilantro.

Steps:

• In a 5- to 6-qt slow cooker, whisk together the wine, brown sugar, oregano, 2 Tbsp of the vinegar, and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Add the garlic, capers, prunes and olives and mix to combine.
• Add the chicken, nestling it among the olives and prunes. Cover and cook until the meat is tender and cooked through, on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours; gently stir in the remaining Tbsp vinegar and parsley.
• Thirty minutes before serving, cook the rice according to package directions. Serve the chicken, prunes, olives and cooking liquid over the rice.

Steps:

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.
