Directions

Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the marinade. (You can also place the chicken and marinade in 2 Ziploc bags and squeeze out the air to make sure the chicken is fully covered with the marinade) Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally to ensure the marinade is getting into all the chicken pieces.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the chicken along with the marinade in a single layer in one or two large roasting pans, sprinkle with the brown sugar and pour the wine around (not over!) the chicken.
Roast for 50 minutes to an hour, basting frequently with pan juice. Chicken is done when the juices come out clear when pricked with a fork.
Transfer the chicken, prunes, and olives to a serving platter with its juices and sprinkle generously with parsley. Serve hot.
