A much lighter and simpler way to make this hunters dish. All you’ll need is a good chook and some white wine. Everything else you should find in our kitchen or garden.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil

  • Whole chicken, broken down into ten pieces or eight chicken legs

  • 1 cup white wine

  • 2 sprigs rosemary

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes

  • A dozen or so whole olives, black or green, pitted or not

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Method

  • Heat a pan large enough to fit all the chicken pieces and add a tablespoon of olive oil.

  • Add the chicken pieces skin side down and allow to cook and colour for around ten minutes, turning as they cook to get an even colouring.

  • While the chook is cooking, finely chop the rosemary, garlic and chilli together.

  • Once you’ve got a lovely brown colour on all the chicken, add the chopped rosemary, garlic and chilli mix to the pan, give a stir and a brief fry before adding the white wine.

  • Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer, pop the lid on the pan and allow to cook for twenty minutes, turning once during that time.

  • The meat should be tender and pull off the bone easily, and the wine should have reduced to a nice sauce.

  • Scatter the olives in and the vinegar, give a final swirl before serving with roast potatoes and a garden salad.
