Place the scored chicken in a large glass bowl, combine vinegar, oil, garlic, olives, capers, bay leaves, preserved lemon, oregano and salt & pepper and pour over chicken. Massage into chicken well. Cover bowl and refrigerate (preferably overnight). When ready to cook, preheat oven to 180c.
Line baking tray/dish with baking paper, spread chicken on tray, along with the marinade.
Scatter, potatoes & fennel around chicken. (onion wedges would work well too). Whisk together the wine and molasses and pour over chicken & veg.
Drizzle chicken with a little extra molasses.
Cook in oven for 50-60 minute, basting a few times in between.
We ate this alongside a salad and cauliflower mash
