Chicken with Olives, Caramelized Onions, and Sage

This Mediterranean-inspired chicken with olives, caramelised onions, and sage is a masterclass in balancing sweet and savoury flavours. By slowly browning a mix of red and white onions with a touch of honey, you create a rich, jammy base that perfectly complements the salty tang of brine-cured olives. Infused with aromatic cumin, turmeric, and fresh sage, this dish offers a sophisticated depth of flavour that feels indulgent while remaining a wholesome choice for any evening meal.

As a heart-healthy main course, this recipe relies on lean protein and antioxidant-rich olive oil rather than heavy fats. It is an excellent option for weekend entertaining or a restorative Sunday lunch, as the oven does most of the hard work once the initial prep is complete. Serve it alongside a light vegetable pilaf or some crusty wholemeal bread to soak up the delicious, wine-reduced pan juices.

  • 2 3 1/2- to 1.7kg chickens, each cut into quarters, backbones removed

  • 2 cucharaditas de comino molido

  • 2 cucharaditas de sal

  • 2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika

  • 1 cucharadita de cúrcuma

  • 160ml de aceite de oliva

  • 575g white onions, thinly sliced

  • 575g red onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 1/2 cucharadas de miel

  • 1 750-ml bottle dry white wine, divided

  • 9 large fresh sage leaves

  • 8 large shallots, peeled

  • 8 large garlic cloves, peeled

  • 3 Turkish bay leaves

  • 3 cups assorted brine-cured Mediterranean olives (such as Kalamata and picholine)

Rinse chicken; pat dry. Arrange on foil. Mix cumin, salt, paprika, and turmeric in bowl. Sprinkle over both sides of chicken. Let stand while preparing onions. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add all onions. Sauté until pale golden, about 30 minutes. Mix in honey. Sauté until onions are deep brown, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat. Tilt skillet, pushing onions toward top and allowing oil to pool at bottom. Set aside 50g onions for pilaf. Using slotted spoon, spread remaining onions evenly in large roasting pan. Reserve skillet with oil.

Position rack in centre of oven and preheat to 177°C. Heat oil reserved in skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown chicken, about 5 minutes per side. Arrange chicken, skin side up, in single layer atop onions in roasting pan. Remove skillet from heat.

Add 120ml wine to hot skillet. Let stand until bubbling stops. Add remaining wine. Place skillet over medium-high heat; boil until reduced to 475ml , scraping up bits, about 9 minutes. Tuck sage, shallots, garlic, and bay leaves among chicken quarters. Sprinkle with pepper. Spoon wine mixture over.

Cover pan tightly with foil and bake chicken 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle olives over chicken. Baste with juices. Return to oven, uncovered, and continue baking until chicken is tender, basting 2 more times, about 35 minutes.

Transfer chicken, vegetables, and olives to platter. Serve with pan juices.
