To prepare Pan-Fried Chicken, start by cutting the chicken into pieces, then marinate it for about 30 minutes with olive oil, garlic, bay leaves, a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Next, heat a non-stick pan, add the chicken with its marinade and cook for about 10 minutes, frequently turning the pieces with kitchen tongs.
When the chicken is well browned, remove the garlic and deglaze with white wine. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally.
When the chicken is fully cooked, remove the lid, turn the heat to high and continue cooking until the cooking liquid has completely evaporated.
Once the cooking liquid has evaporated, remove the bay leaves and serve your Pan-Fried Chicken piping hot! Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
