To make the dish, you’ll also need a large bowl, a cooking thermometer, aluminium foil, a large roasting pan and a serving platter.

- Add the chicken to the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (180C).
- Place the chicken, skin side up, along with the marinade in one layer in the roasting pan, sprinkle with the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, and pour the wine around the chicken.
- Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken is 145 degrees.
- Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with aluminium foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Discard the bay leaves.
- Transfer the chicken, prunes, and olives to a serving platter, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot with the pan juices.
