👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Pat the chicken pieces dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Drying the chicken helps it to brown better. - 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- 3
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Lower the heat if the onions start to burn. - 4
Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 5
Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaf.
- 6
Return the chicken pieces to the pot. Add enough water or chicken broth to come about halfway up the sides of the chicken.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The liquid should not completely cover the chicken. - 7
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 1.5 hours, or until the chicken is very tender and the sauce has thickened.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Stir occasionally and add more liquid if it becomes too dry. - 8
Remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaf before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with orzo, rice, or crusty bread.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The sauce is excellent for soaking up with bread.

- ✓Allow the sauce to simmer uncovered for the last 15-20 minutes if you want it thicker.
- ✓This dish can be made a day in advance; the flavors often improve overnight.
