White wine vinegar, orange juice, and barberries combine in this fragrant, sweet-and-sour roast chicken. Dried barberries are incredibly tart, more so than any other dried fruit you’ll encounter. Look for them at Middle Eastern markets or specialty foods stores, or order them online. Dried tart cherries will also work.
