Pollo al Ajillo "Garlic Chicken"
Pollo al Ajillo is another common dish found at most tapas bars. The dish is simple in nature, but still packs a punch in the flavor department! This chicken recipe is really easy to make. I have made it several times, and after tinkering with the cooking process, I am ready to share my recipe with you. I hope you enjoy this dish and make it a part of your next tapas meal!
Serves: 4 tapas portionsPreparation time: About 15 minutes active time, and 30 minutes in-active time INGREDIENTS 1 lb chicken wings and drumlets cleaned 1/2 cup dry white wine 6-8 cloves garlic About 1/2 cup olive oil for frying and baking 1/4 ts dry thyme salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS Start by making a couple slashes in the chicken and place in a bowl with the white wine, salt, pepper, a 1 clove of garlic finely chopped. Let marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F Cut the remaining garlic in half (removing outer skin) and place in small baking dish with about 1 1/2 TB olive oil and 1/4 white wine. Add the thyme and a little salt and pepper. Place in the hot oven to roast for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, heat the remaining oil and add the chicken and 1 clove of finely chopped garlic (discard the marinade). Cook the chicken until done (about 5-7 minutes on each side). Remove the garlic from the oven and add the chicken and about half of the oil from the frying. Place back in the oven for another 3-4 minutes. Remove and serve. Enjoy!
