    Spanish

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Dash of pepper

3 bay leaves

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/4 cup sliced or halved pitted green olives

3 pounds chicken parts

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 cup dry white wine

Directions

In a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, garlic powder, pepper, bay leaves, raisins and olives.

Prick the skin of the chicken with fork tines or the tip of a sharp knife and add to the marinade, coating well. Pricking the skin is to help the marinade penetrate the chicken. Cover and refrigerate several hours or up to overnight.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place chicken in a 12x8x2-inch baking dish. Add the wine to the marinade and pour over chicken. Sprinkle the chicken all over with brown sugar. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F, basting occasionally, until chicken is tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
