  • Prep 1 hr 5 min
  • Total 2 hr 5 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dry red wine or Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried mint leaves
  • 3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 to 2 lb cut-up whole chicken pieces
  • 1 jar (4 3/4 oz) pitted kalamata or ripe olives, drained

Steps

  • 1
    In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except chicken and olives. Add chicken; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate 1 hour.
  • 2
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Place chicken, skin sides down, on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 minutes. Turn chicken; brush with marinade. Cover grill; cook 20 to 40 minutes longer, brushing occasionally with marinade, until juice of chicken is clear when thickest piece is cut to bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and drumsticks). Discard any remaining marinade. Serve chicken with olives.

  • Cook chicken pieces evenly by placing the meatier pieces in the center of the grill rack and smaller pieces around the edge. Turn frequently.
  • Kalamata olives, known as the Cadillac of olives, are imported from Greece. The plump, purplish to black olives have a moist texture and a robust, winelike flavor.
