Method

  1. Prepare the chicken: Wipe the chicken with kitchen paper, trim away any excess skin with scissors then toss the thighs in the seasoned flour. Separate the bulb of garlic into cloves (no need to peel).
  2. Fry the chicken: Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan until searingly hot, add the chicken, skin side down, and fry without moving the chicken until the skin is crisp and browned. Turn the chicken over and brown it on all sides (you may need to do this in batches). Add the garlic and rosemary, then pour in the wine and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 40-45 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the sauce thickened. Serve with rice or parsley-tossed tagliatelle, and buttered spinach.

    Great recipe - really easy and quick to prepare, you can leave it to cook on it's own while you do other stuff, and it tastes delicious!

    Fantastic recipe, really simple but really tasty. My kitchen smelled divine while the sauce was simmering...

    Used wild garlic from the garden - very subtle, but quite nice. Will do again.

    This was quite nice but not as tasty as I had hoped. I will add more seasoning next time I think.

    This was easy to do and quite tasty and the family enjoyed it. I browned the chicken off but because it was simmering with the lid on the skin was soft rather than crispy (I prefer crispy). I served it with buttered tagliatelle and shredded and buttered cabbage. I may well do this again.

    Very nice, added a dollop of creme fraiche to the sauce which was lovely.

    I cooked this for friends and it was gorgeous. Chicken so juicy it just falls off the bone, and full of flavour too. I didnt stick to a tbsp flour, I just poured a pile into the bottom of a pasta bowl with a bit of pepper too, so each chicken was well coated. I served with Angela Nilson's "creamy mash" also found on BBC Good Food and runner beans. I did think it might be a bit dry as it didnt look too saucy in the picture above, but the wine makes ample of sauce for the chicken, beans and mash with plenty left over too so nothing else is needed. Easiest most delicious chicken I've had in a long time!
