This recipe is inspired by the wonderful Hanna Goldsmith’s New Year’s chicken on her blog buildingfeasts. She in turn based hers on the American classic chicken dish from the Silver Spoon, kitschly named Chicken Marbella.

I’ve replaced the prunes in their recipes with sunnier looking dried apricots, added dried apple and thyme. As it's a family dish, I white wine is subbed out for grape juice.

It's perfect for a big gathering as all the work is done ahead of time. You simply combine all the ingredients in ziplock bags or plastic tubs and leave them to marinate for up to two days. When you are ready to cook, all you need to do is pour the contents into roasting tins and chop parsley for the garnish.
