💰Cheaper: black olives

Black olives offer a milder flavor and are often less expensive.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: white sugar

White sugar is a cost-effective sweetener.

red wine vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: white vinegar

White vinegar is an economical alternative.

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, prunes, green olives, capers, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Add chicken pieces to the bowl and coat thoroughly in the marinade.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 8 hours).

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Transfer chicken and marinade to a casserole dish or baking tray.

Pour dry white wine over the chicken and add brown sugar.

Roast in the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, basting occasionally, until chicken is golden and cooked through.

Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
