Number Of Ingredients 18

yield: Makes 12 servings
active time: 1 hr
total time: 3 hr (includes cooling)
ingredients
3 whole chicken legs, including thighs (2 to 2 1/4 pounds total)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
1/3 cup finely diced Spanish chorizo (cured spiced pork sausage; 1 1/2 oz; casings discarded if desired)
1/2 teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika (not hot)
1/4 cup chopped pitted green olives
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, turning over once, about 6 minutes total, and transfer to a plate. Sauté onions, garlic, and bay leaves in fat remaining in skillet, stirring frequently, until onions are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add chorizo and paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add olives, raisins, wine, and broth and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up any brown bits. Return chicken to skillet along with any juices accumulated on plate, then reduce heat to moderately low and simmer chicken, covered, turning over once, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a clean plate. (Sauce in skillet should be the consistency of heavy cream; if it's not, briskly simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.) When chicken is cool enough to handle, discard skin and bones and coarsely chop meat. Stir chicken into sauce and discard bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper, then cool filling, uncovered, about 30 minutes. preheat oven to 400°F. Grease pan. place filling in middle of dow square, and moisten border with beaten egg. press edges together to seal and puncture the center with fork. brush empanada with beaten egg and bake for 15 minutes Cooks' notes: • Filling can be made ahead and brought to room temperature before using.

The empanadas were good, but not great. The filling was a bit bland and the pastry was a little tough. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I thought the empanadas were a bit dry. The filling was flavorful, but the pastry was a little overcooked. I would recommend using a different pastry recipe.

These empanadas were amazing! The chicken and chorizo filling was so flavorful and the pastry was perfectly flaky. I will definitely be making these again and again.

Delicious! The empanadas were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The filling was flavorful and well-seasoned. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

These empanadas were a hit at my last party! The combination of chicken and chorizo was flavorful and juicy, and the pastry was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making these again.
