Description

Super flavoursome and perfect served up as part of a tapas platter or as a starter. This Pollo Al Ajillo is super simple to make and will bring the flavour of Spain right into your home. 

The default recipe serves one.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 chicken thigh
  • 1 chicken drumstick
  • 3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • few sprigs rosemary
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) white wine

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden. Remove the garlic from the pan with a slotted spoon.

2. Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning every couple of minutes until it is brown on all sides. Add the garlic back to the pan, reduce the heat to medium and pour over the wine. Add the rosemary and cover. Cook for 20 minutes at a slight simmer

Notes

  • If you are making for several people then you can buy an entire chicken and cut into pieces
  • You can use parsley instead of rosemary, but make sure to add it right at the end instead of during the cooking process. Or you can use dried rosemary – around 1/2 tsp per person.
