I had been wanting to try this recipe for a long time because it seemed like it would have lots of exotic flavor. I really wish I could say that I loved it but truthfully it was just too overwhelming. If I were to make it again I would cut down the wine to 1/3 of a cup, leave out the vinegar, use only 2 bay leaves and only a tablespoon of oregano. I like all these ingredients individually but in those quantities it made the chicken taste pickled with lots of oregano taste which was a bit much for me, so bottom line not horrible but too intense as is. Sorry :(
