- Add the wine and bay leaves and boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and cook over low heat for 25-30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

POLLO AL AJILLO (CLASSIC SPANISH GARLIC CHICKEN)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Cut chicken into 10 to 12 pieces. Rinse and pat dry. Place the chicken in a large glass dish and squeeze lemon juice over it.
- Peel 2 garlic cloves and chop finely. Rub the garlic, salt, and pepper into the chicken. Marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan, pour 3/4 cup of the olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain well. Place the chicken in the hot oil and brown on both sides.
- Remove the chicken from the frying pan and place in a Dutch oven or a covered, deep frying pan. Add the white wine and bay leaf. Cover and simmer on low until the wine is reduced.
- While the chicken simmers, peel and cut the potatoes into thin round slices or small cubes.
- In a small frying pan, heat the remaining 3/4 cup olive oil on medium high and fry the potatoes. Remove potatoes and add them to the chicken. If more sauce is desired, add the cup of broth now. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer, covered.
- Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle over chicken.
- Peel the remaining 4 cloves of garlic and cut into thin slices. In the same pan used to brown the chicken, lightly sauté the garlic, and add the hot pepper, if using. Add Spanish paprika, vinegar, and sugar.
- Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan. Pour over the chicken. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve.
- Enjoy.

CHICKEN IN GARLIC SAUCE - POLLO AL AJILLO
Steps:
- Wash the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add as many of the chicken thighs, skin side down, as will fit without touching.
- Cook until the skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
- Remove the pan from the heat and spoon off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat, leaving all the lovely brown bits behind. Return the pan to low heat, stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until the garlic starts to turn golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the sherry, increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Let it boil a minute or 2, then return the chicken to the pan skin side up. Reduce the heat to low, pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan tightly and cook 20 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces (or rotate them top to bottom if using a smaller pan) and cook until the chicken is very tender, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.
- Note: If you like a mix of white and dark meat, substitute a 4-pound chicken cut into 10 pieces. Let the thighs, drumsticks, and wings cook in the sauce for 15 minutes before adding the browned breast pieces. If you'd like to use all white meat, cut the breasts in half crosswise, brown them as described above, but let the sauce cook down 10 to 15 minutes before adding the chicken breasts.
POLLO AL AJILLO (GARLIC CHICKEN)
This is the simplest dish - chicken sauteed in olive oil with garlic. The recipe is based on one provided by Penelope Casas in her legendary cookbook The Foods and Wines of Spain, considered the definitive book in English on Spanish cooking. You can also use wings and make tapas out of the recipe. Serve with short grain rice and a light red wine.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot. While the oil heats, mash the cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic together into a paste in a heat-proof bowl; whisk the hot oil into the paste. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Add the lime juice and orange juice; stir. Place the chicken in a large sealable bag; pour the marinade over the chicken and shake to assure an even coating. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange the marinated chicken in a roasting pan.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

- Use a whole chicken: This will give you more flavor and juiciness than using just chicken breasts or thighs.
- Marinate the chicken overnight: This will help the flavors to penetrate deep into the meat.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is made with garlic, cumin, oregano, and lime juice. You can also add other herbs and spices that you like.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
- Baste the chicken frequently: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
