Chicken Marbell ificent

Name: Chicken Marbell-ificent
Ingredients: 1 whole chicken (I had a 6.5lb-er); 1 bulb garlic, chopped finely (food processor does a masterful job); 1/4 cup dried oregano; a few dashes good salt and fresh ground pepper ( I like sel gris); 2/3 cup red wine vinegar; 2/3 cup olive oil; 1 cup pitted dried plums, chopped into bite-size pieces; 1 cup dried apricots, chopped into bite-size pieces; 2/3 cup olives, pitted and sliced in half (I used Kalamata, good green olives would be nice too); 2/3 cup capers with about 1/3 cup juice; 8 bay leaves; 1 1/3 cups brown sugar; 1 1/2 cups wine ( I think it is equally good with red and white wine - use whatever you have on hand); Couscous or rice to serve with (recipe coming soon)
