Ingredients:
Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper
4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 and 1/2 cups red wine (a big Cab works well here)

2 orange peel strips, plus the juice of the orange
4 smashed garlic cloves
12 prunes
A few sprigs of rosemary
1 yellow onion cut into 8 wedges (through the root end so that they stay together)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/3 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives, some sliced in half
Thyme leaves for garnishing
Salt and pepper
Serve over rice or pasta
