Easy Chicken in Wine

Another one we grew up eating.
This is much healthier if you take the skin off the chicken.
I never do that. It's much more delicious with it on. It might be the best part. :)

Ingredients:

4-6 chicken breast quarters
1 cup burgandy wine
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 tsp. crushed oregano
2 TBL water
1 garlic clove sliced in quarters
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 TBL brown sugar

Directions:
Wash and drain chicken quarters. Place in shallow baking dish. Combine all other ingredients and pour over chicken. Cover with foil. Refrigerate if there is time to do ahead. If so, spoon sauce over chicken several times.

Bake chicken covered about one hour at 375 degrees. Uncover and cook about 10-15 minutes longer and baste with wine sauce for futher browning.

Use gravy separater to separate oil from sauce if desired.

Bake some baking potatoes at the same time you bake the chicken. Use the sauce on the potatoes too, very good, especially if the skin on the potatoes is crunchy too.
