Ingredients
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine red wine vinegar, olive oil, green olives, capers, prunes, minced garlic, bay leaves, oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a rich marinade. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to develop.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer in a roasting pan, skin-side up. Pour 1 cup dry white wine (or chicken stock) around the chicken. Sprinkle brown sugar over the skin to enhance caramelization.
- Roast the chicken for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when measured with a meat thermometer. For crispy, golden skin, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- In a large pot, saute fidelini pasta until brown and crispy. Add sofrito, water, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked and fluffy.
- Plate the chicken alongside the rice, spooning the pan juices and olives over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
