Garlic Chicken

Ingredients for Garlic Chicken

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, or 12 chicken wings, tips removed

• Sweet paprika

• Sale e pepe nero macinato fresco

• 80ml olio d'oliva

• 6 cloves garlic, crushed, plus 2 cloves, minced

• 3 fresh thyme sprigs

• 2 foglie di alloro

• 1/2 cup fino or manzanilla sherry

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• Prezzemolo fresco tritato a foglia piatta per guarnire

Rub the chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper and set aside at room temperature for at least 1 hour or preferably in the refrigerator at least 8 hours or overnight.

Preriscalda il forno a 204°C.

In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not coloured, 2 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and fry, turning as needed, until golden on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes. You want them nicely coloured on the outside but not cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain briefly, and then arrange the pieces in a cazuela or baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.

Remove the crushed garlic from the oil and discard. Return the pan to low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook briefly. Add the thyme, bay leaves, sherry, and broth, raise the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the chicken.

Bake the chicken until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and discard the bay leaves and thyme. If the pan juices are thin, transfer to a small saucepan and cook over medium high heat until reduced, and then return to the cazuela. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve at once.

You also can complete the cooking on the stove top. Sauté the minced garlic as directed, return the chicken to the pan, add the sherry and broth, and simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the chicken is tender, 15 to 20 minutes
