Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 pieces chicken thigh or chicken leg; skin on and bone in
  • 4-5 anchovy fillet
  • 1 garlic peeled, whole clove
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes red pepper flakes
  • cup white wine 80ml, dry
  • 28 oz tomato high quality (800g, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 10 olive black or green
  • 1 parsley small handful, fresh
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt to season
  • black pepper to season

Instructions

  1. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in the pan, brown the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side then transfer to a plate (you may need to do this in 2 batches). If you find there is a large amount of excess oil in the pan, drain it so you’re left with around 2 tablespoons.
  2. Turn the heat down low and add the whole garlic clove, anchovies and chilli flakes. Stir until the anchovies have melted then add the white wine. Scrape away any brown bits from the pan and simmer the wine until it has reduced by half.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes with a good pinch of salt and pepper then add the chicken back to the pan. Cover and simmer on a medium heat for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for a further 30 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
  4. At the end of cooking add the olives, capers and chopped fresh parsley and stir into the sauce. Serve with creamy mash or polenta.

Notes

  • Chicken to use - you can use a mix of chicken thighs and drumsticks or one or the other. For best results use skin-on and bone-in chicken which keeps it juicy and full of flavour. Boneless chicken will need less cooking time.
  • Anchovies - don't worry if you don't like them the sauce isn't fishy at all but they do add a lot of flavour and I don't recommend skipping them if possible.
  • Storage - leftovers will keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days
