Ingredients

• ¼ cup water
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• ¼ cup olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 chicken leg quarters
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced
• ½ large red onion, chopped
• 1 ripe plantain, sliced
• 6 fresh figs, stems removed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

Step 2

Place chicken quarters in a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Arrange onion, plantain, figs, and garlic around chicken quarters and season with rosemary, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Whisk olive oil and balsamic vinegar together in a bowl; pour over chicken quarters. Pour water into casserole dish.

Step 4

Place casserole dish in the preheated oven; reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Bake until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
