Ingredients
- 1½ tbsp Co-op olive oil
- 100ml Co-op red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp Co-op Fairtrade light brown soft sugar
- 8 garlic cloves, unpeeled, bashed
- 8 Co-op British chicken thighs, skin on
- 120g Co-op soft pitted prunes
- 75g pimento-stuffed green olives
- 150ml white wine, such as Co-op Australian Lime Tree Chardonnay
- Crusty bread and salad, to serve (optional)
Method
- To make the marinade, whisk together 1 tbsp of the olive oil, the red wine vinegar, oregano and sugar
- Season, then add the garlic and chicken
- Mix so the chicken is well covered in the marinade, then transfer to a food bag or lidded plastic container
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight
- Heat the remaining ½ tbsp oil over a high heat in a frying pan large enough to fit all the chicken pieces in comfortably
- Add the thighs, skin-side down, reserving the marinade and garlic. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the skin is golden, about 10 mins
- Turn the chicken over and pour in the reserved marinade and garlic cloves
- Cook for 10 mins, then add the prunes, olives and white wine. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially and simmer for another 15 mins
- When the chicken is cooked through, leave to rest for a few minutes before serving with crusty bread and salad, if you like
