This is the greatest Spanish Chicken Recipe that I
know, and one we use for very special occasions.
I'm David and I'd like to tell you how I first came across this famous
and ancient recipe from Navarra
in the north of
Spain.
I was reading a biography of Fransisco
de Goya -
Spain's most important Artist of the late 18th and Early 19th Century -
in which the artist describes how his mother used to cook his favorite
dish:
Chicken
Chilindron or Pollo
al
Chilindron (the Chilindron being the heavy pan used to
cook it).
I decided to try it and copied his recipe. The delicious mixture of
Chicken red peppers - Air dried Jamon
Serrano and sweet
smoked pimenton is a combination made in Heaven.
But - don't take my word for it - Try it yourself
- I bet you'll become a convert like me.

Spanish
Chicken Method
- O.K. - first make the sauce.
- Fry the onions and peppers in half the olive
oil (medium heat) until soft (about ten minutes).
- Reduce the heat and add the garlic - stir for a
further two minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients (Keeping back
half the chopped parsley for garnish).
- Remove From the heat.
- Now brown the chicken well on all sides (in the
rest of the olive oil).
- Then take an oven proof earthenware
casserole dish and spoon the sauce mixture into the bottom.
- Arrange the chicken pieces on the sauce - skin
side up (this will stop the skin going soft and wrinkly during
cooking).
- Cover the earthenware tightly with aluminum
foil and place in a medium oven 350ºf/175ºc Gas 3-4 for 45 minutes.
- Then remove the foil and return to the oven for
a further 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the rest of the parsley and serve
with a crisp salad and some crusty
bread.
