Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time : 40 minutes

Ingredients for 6 persons

  • 12 chicken thighs
  • Flour for frying
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 4 pork belly slices, chopped
  • 2 onions, cut as rings
  • 2 tablespoons of caper
  • 300gr KYKNOS tomato sauce
  • ½ cup white dry wine
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh, chopped sage
  • 1 teaspoon of rosmary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 100gr. green olives cut as rings

Preparation:
Wash the chicken well and coat it with a layer of flour. Preheat some oil in a pot in high fire and once ready add the chicken and let it cook until golden brown, for about 3 minutes per side. Then, we add the onions, the pork belly slices and cook for about 2 minutes- until they become shiny.

We pour the wine and wait for the alcohol to boil down, before we stir in the rest of the ingredients and herbs- apart from the caper and olives. We cook over medium heat for 25 minutes. When the time’s up add the olives and caper and cook for another 15 minutes- or until the sauce has thickened.

Serve with french fries or mashed potatoes, or with a colourful green salad.

Tasty tip
While cooking the thighs with the onion and garlic we can add 2 anchovies (melt) for a more special flavor.
