Step by Step guide

Step 1

First, clean the chicken, remove excess fat, and dry it with paper towels. Heat the olive oil and clarified butter in a large saucepan. Place the chicken pieces skin-side down and fry over medium heat until they turn light brown. Remove the chicken.

Step 2

Thinly slice the onion and sauté it in the remaining oil in the saucepan. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes. Next, add the wine, tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, brandy, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a boil and then simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Return the chicken to the saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes uncovered. Then cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for one hour, stirring occasionally.
