1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup pitted prunes
1/2 cup pitted Spanish green olives
1/2 cup capers, with a bit of juice
6 bay leaves
1 head of garlic, peeled and pureed

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 chickens, 3 1/2 to 4 pounds each, quartered

Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan; spoon the marinade over it evenly.

Pour in the wine and sprinkle the chicken with the brown sugar.

(When basting, do not brush off the sugar.
