Recipe for "chicken-cacc-1"

NAME

     CHICKEN-CACC-1 - Southern-Italian style baked chicken
     This is one of my favorite recipes.  It was recomended by  a
     very  close  friend  who got it from an old cookbook.  It is
     very easy and can be whipped up on short notice.   I  really
     like it for its garlic and wine taste.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 3)

     1         chicken, cut into parts. Or use breast pieces.
     250 ml    wine vinegar
     250 ml    olive oil
     250 ml    dry white wine
     3         garlic cloves
               rosemary
     5 ml      sugar
               salt and pepper

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Heat the olive oil in  a  large  ovenproof  frying
               pan. Crush the garlic and saute for 15-20 minutes.
               Be careful not to burn the garlic
          (2)  Clean and trim chicken, leaving the skin  on.  Add
               to  frypan,  then  add  salt  and  pepper. Cook on
               medium heat until the chicken begins to brown.
          (3)  Preheat oven to 175 deg. C.
          (4)  Add the vinegar and bring  to  a  boil.  Partially
               cover,  lower  heat,  and cook until the liquid is
               reduced to the original volume.  then add  crushed
               rosemary to taste.
          (5)  Add wine and sugar, return to boil,  reduce  heat,
               and  cook  partially  covered  until the liquid is
               again reduced to its original volume.
          (6)  Bake at 175 deg. C for 15 - 20  minutes  or  until
               brown.

NOTES

     I usually use a white California zinfandel wine.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 11/2 hours.  Precision: no need  to
     measure.
