Pollo Al Ajillo (Garlic Chicken) image

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.
