Heat 3 tbsp of the olive oil in a wide pot and fry the onion over low heat 30–35 minutes, stirring, until it is deep brown.
StoveWide, shallow pot
💡Onion caramelizes with patience: over medium heat it reaches deep brown in about half an hour, over low heat it takes close to an hour, and over high heat it burns at the edges before it softens. A pinch of salt at the start draws out its liquid, and when it starts to stick, add a tablespoon of water and scrape the bottom.

Add the sugar and vinegar and cook 5 more minutes, stirring.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the rest of the olive oil, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt and black pepper and rub the mixture into the chicken.
💡Dry the chicken before seasoning so the mixture clings to the skin; a longer marinade gives deeper color and flavor.
4
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
5
Arrange the chicken in the pan in a single layer, with space between the pieces.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.

Take the pan out of the oven and add the caramelized onion and the garlic and wine around the chicken. Lay the thyme sprigs on top.
