Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, bruised
800 g skinless chicken thighs, halved
all-purpose flour, seasoned to taste
1 large onion, thinly sliced
250 ml red wine
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs rosemary
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon caster sugar
150 ml chicken stock
1 tablespoon currants
1/2 cup black olives
2 tablespoons pine nuts, roasted (I do this in a small dry pan over a low heat, shaking 'til golden)
1/4 cup flat leafed parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy-based heat-proof casserole, add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden, then discard the garlic.
  • Dust the chicken in seasoned flour and shake away the excess, then cook in the oil over medium heat until light golden all over-this will need to be done in a couple of batches.
  • Remove all from the pan.
  • Add the onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until almost soft.
  • Add the wine, bay leaf rosemary and vinegar and boil for 2 minutes.
  • Add the stock, then return the chicken to the pan and bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently, turning once, for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.
  • Add the sugar, currants and olives to pan and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is syrupy.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the parsley and pine nuts and serve immediately.

This recipe has potential, but it needs some tweaking. The chicken was a bit bland and the sauce was too thin.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the sauce was too sweet.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try it again with a different cooking method.

I'm not a big fan of sweet and sour dishes, but this one was surprisingly good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was well-balanced.
