    I thought this recipe was good and worth repeating. Yes the chicken didn’t brown like a open oven roasted chicken. It is a different type of dish. And it was easy to make. I do have onions and carrots and potatoes and prunes as pantry staples. Chicken was very moist, vegetables were just right not mushy (I would add more carrots), and the sauce was delicious. I did keep it in the oven for 15 more minutes because my chicken was heavier than called for.

    This was OK, and definitley wouldn’t recommend it as a must try. Though if you do have 8 small potatoes, three onions and 8 prunes (optional but is the star here), give it a go. Fall/winter dish. The chicken didn’t brown, or will it with all the liquid from roasting, so put it under a broiler or bust out a torch. Mine also took about 15 to 20 minutes longer to cook and the chicken fat didn’t render out. Good flavor, especially with the prunes but far from magnificent. Not sure I would do again.

    The chicken took a good 20 minutes more to fully cook than the recipe specified and the skin never really browned. This really reminded me of a chicken version of pot roast.

    Also made with brandy. Quite tasty but the chicken didn't brown so I had to take off the lid and broil for a bit.
