Spanish garlic chicken

Chicken second courses

Garlic chicken was one of my dad’s specialties. It was originally based off a recipe in an old favorite Spanish cookbook, but has evolved over the years. Much of the recipe’s flavor comes from whole cloves of garlic that are sauteed in olive oil, mashed into a paste, and added back in towards the end of cooking. The garlic paste gives the base of chicken stock, white wine, and brandy a little sweetness and body.
