Set skillet in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Baste the chicken with the juices, and then add the grapes, garlic, and pearl onions. Cook, basting every ten minutes or so, until the chicken is cooked, 30 to 40 minutes. When done, set the chicken, onions, and grapes on a platter and cover with aluminum foil.

Carefully, set the skillet on the stovetop. Using a spoon, remove as much of the oil in the skillet as you can. Turn heat to medium, and pour in the port. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom to dislodge in browned bits. Reduce until the liquid starts to look like a sauce, five to seven minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the butter.
