CHICKEN CACCIATORE I

     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.
     1 cup     wine vinegar
     1 cup     olive oil
     1 cup     dry white wine
     3         garlic cloves
               rosemary
     1 tsp     sugar
               salt and pepper

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof frying
               pan. Crush the garlic and saut' 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 350 deg. F.

          (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 350 deg. F for 15-20 minutes or until
               brown.

NOTES
     I usually use a white California zinfandel wine.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 1 1/2 hours.  Precision: no need to
     measure.
