Serves 6



  • 1 whole med - large chicken or 6 fillets or pieces

  • 250ml chicken stock
  • 200gm kalamata olives
  • 2 tbspn capers

Method



Cut your whole chicken into serving sized pieces after removing neck and giblets. Arrange pieces or fillets skin side up in a baking dish and pour the wine over. Add chicken stock, olives and capers. Break and add garlic, paprika and dried oregano. Mix the soy sauce, mirin and ground pepper together and add. By now the baking dish should be about 2/3 full of liquid. Pour the olive oil over the top and place in a hot oven at about 220 degrees Celsius for approx 1 hour. Baste the chicken regularly throughout the cooking process.

Serve with the juices spooned over the top, delicious with a green salad. You could also serve with cous cous or rice.
