Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 4 whole chicken drumsticks
  • 5 whole chicken wings
  • 5 whole chicken thighs
  • homemade tomato sauce
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • rosemary
  • 1 whole celery stick
  • ½ whole onion
  • 2 whole carrots
  • parsley
  • red wine
  • 2 cloves garlic
Warm about four tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a casserole dish.
Add the chicken pieces and brown both sides over medium-low heat.
Add the garlic, smashed with the skin on, so it infuses the oil and chicken.
Cover and cook a few minutes; turn the pieces, cover and cook 10 minutes more.
Move the chicken aside and spread in the carrots, onion and celery with its leaves; cook about 10 minutes until the vegetables soften, then turn everything over.
Adding the vegetables
Add the rosemary and a glass of red wine; cover and cook until the wine evaporates, then uncover to drive off the rest.
Rosemary and red wine
Once the wine is gone, add the tomato sauce and turn the chicken so the sauce gets to the bottom.
Adding the tomato sauce
  • salt
  • pepper
Season generously with salt and pepper and stir in some parsley.
Cover and slow cook about 20 minutes; after about 10 minutes remove the rosemary stalk.
Slow cooking and finishing
Remove the garlic; finish uncovered so the sauce thickens a little more.
  • bread
Sprinkle with more parsley and serve with bread to wipe the plate.
