Ingredients

Units Scale

Olive Paste

  • 1/3 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives
  • 1/3 cup pitted prunes
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Chicken

  • 3-4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks and thighs
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc
  • 1/3 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives, halved
  • 1/3 cup pitted prunes, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.
  2. Make the olive paste: Combine the olives, prunes, olive oil, wine, garlic, capers, oregano, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a coarse paste forms, about 30 seconds.
  3. Make the chicken: Arrange the chicken on a rimmed sheet pan and coat each piece with the olive paste, fully covering on all sides. Pour the chicken stock and white wine onto the sheet pan around the chicken. Drop the olives, prunes, and capers into the liquid. Sprinkle the chicken with the brown sugar and salt.
  4. Bake: Bake for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the chicken, olives, capers, and prunes to a serving platter. Sprinkle with parsley.
  5. Make the sauce: Pour the sheet pan drippings into a saucepan. Boil, then simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in butter until incorporated. Serve alongside the chicken.
