INGREDIENTS
•
Why this recipe works:
•
To save time and boost flavor, we ditched the original marinade and made a paste of the prunes, olives, capers, garlic, and oregano, which we spread on the chicken and caramelized into the sauce. To boost meatiness and complexity, we added anchovies
•
Serves 4 to 6
•
Any combination of split breasts and leg quarters can be used in this recipe.
