Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the white wine, 2 tablespoons of the red wine vinegar, brown sugar, dried oregano, and ¼ teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper. Add the prunes, pitted green olives, smashed garlic cloves, and drained capers; stir to combine.
-
Step 2.
Add the bone-in dark meat chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks, skin removed) to the slow cooker, nestling them among the olives and prunes. Cover and cook until the meat is tender and cooked through: on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.

Step 3.
Gently stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar and the chopped fresh parsley. Serve the chicken, prunes, olives, and cooking liquid over cooked long-grain white rice.
