Braised Chicken With Cumquats & Green Olives
"A Jeremy Vincent recipe. The cumquats give this dish a type of sweet and sour taste. I think this could even be made in a slow cooker. When picking the cumquats, use firm cumquats that are bright orange in colour; avoid those with a greenish tint. Serve over couscous or rice Note : Cumquats are best left whole, but have been listed as halved for the system to accept it."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Note : Cumquats are best left whole, but have been listed as halved for the system to accept it.
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the chicken drumsticks. Season them with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium temperature. Add the chicken to the saucepan and cook, turning occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until skin is evenly browned. Remove chicken and transfer the chicken to a plate.
Step 4
Add the onion and garlic to the saucepan and saute over medium heat until transparent. Add the wine and bay leaves and reduce over high heat until syrupy.
Step 5
Return the chicken to the saucepan, add enough chicken stock to cover two-thirds of the chicken.
Step 6
Tuck the cumquats and olives into the stock, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 40 minutes.
Step 7
Test for seasoning and adjust if needed.
Step 8
Serve over couscous or rice.
