Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -5 lbs whole chickens, cut into 8 serving pieces
salt
pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup olive oil, Spanish
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, thickly sliced
1 bay leaf

1/2 cup light rum
3/4 cup large green Spanish olives, unpitted

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken pieces, pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt, pepper and oregano.

  • Brown the chicken pieces on both sides.

  • Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and onions, and cook, stirring, until tender, 6-8 minutes, adding more oil if necessary.
  • Add the bay leaf, wine, rum and olives and stir to incorporate.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and cook over low heat until tender, about 45 to 60 minutes OR, if you prefer, place the covered skillet in a 350F oven for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the bay leaf and serve.
  • Delicious with white or yellow rice.
