Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 chicken, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon paprika
salt & fresh ground pepper
5 tablespoons light olive oil
10 cloves garlic, roughly chopped (yes 10!)
2 tablespoons Spanish brandy
3/4 cup fino sherry wine (very dry)
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Rub the chicken pieces in a mixture of the paprika, salt and pepper.
  • (I put plastic bags on my hands to stop the bits getting under my nails!) Gently heat the Olive Oil in a large flame-proof casserole dish and fry the garlic until it is lightly browned.
  • Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon.
  • Add the chicken pieces and gently fry until light brown on all sides.
  • Return garlic to the dish, add the sherry, brandy and bay leaves.
  • Bring to the boil and then cover and simmer for approx 45 mins until the chicken is tender.
