Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 4 h 20 min

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients. To cook chicken with quince and prunes, we will need: chicken parts (legs, thighs, fillets); large quince; prunes; fresh rosemary; soy sauce and spices for chicken.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the chicken. If the chicken is whole, divide it into portions. Put the chicken in a baking dish. I covered the bottom and walls of the mold with foil so that the juice from the chicken would not burn to the mold.
Step 3:
Pour soy sauce over the meat and sprinkle with spices for the chicken.
Step 4:
Mix everything thoroughly. Put it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to marinate.
Step 5:
Cut the quince into large pieces, removing the seeds.
Step 6:
Arrange the quince pieces around the chicken. Fill the remaining gaps between the meat with prunes. Stick rosemary tassels between the quince and the chicken.
Step 7:
Put the chicken with quince and prunes in a preheated 180 ° C for about 1 hour, periodically greasing the chicken with juice from the bottom of the mold. For the first 30 minutes, you can bake the chicken under foil so that the quince does not burn. Then remove the foil and bake the chicken until golden brown. Enjoy your meal!

I constantly meet this dish in New Year's Eve culinary magazines. And every year I'm going to cook everything, but this recipe is constantly interrupted by some other ideas. But finally, I got my hands on this chicken. What can I say: juicy, delicious and insanely fragrant! I really like the combination of prunes with meat, it seems to me perfect and it doesn't matter if it's chicken, beef or pork. In the same dish, in addition to prunes, sweet quince is added, which brings its southern tart accents to the dish. Well, rosemary fit perfectly into this trio and added not so much taste as aroma. The smell of this dish spread to the whole house. The neighbors even asked: what did you cook so delicious, what smells so wonderful? I had to share the recipe.
In general, you can paint for a long time, but it's better to cook and try.
For those who do not like quince: it can be replaced with a large sweet and sour apple.

Juicy chicken baked with fragrant quince, fragrant rosemary and sour prunes is an ideal dish for any feasts, be it weekdays or holidays. Be sure to try this dish.
