Uber Huber!: Spicy chicken cacciatore

Isn't life sometimes (or all the time) interesting? You left someone/ something/ somewhere by choice but you still miss them? Though you have the opportunity to return, you do not want to? But you still miss them?? Does that happen to you?

1 chilled chicken leg bone-in, skin-on
200g tomato sauce
Red chilli ( seeds removed)
1 Bell pepper, sliced
175ml red wine
Garlic, chopped
Onions, sliced/ diced
Several olives
Olive oil

1] First, season the chicken with some salt & pepper. Put it aside.

2] Heat the roasting oven to 180C.

3] Heat a little oil on the pan, just enough to grease the pan lightly.

4] Cook chicken on the pan for about 7 minutes on each side till lightly browned. Fret not if you have bits stuck to the pan.

5] Then remove the chicken from the pan and put it on a greased roasting pan.

6] Now, if there are alot of fat remaining on the pan, discard them. I retained only a wee bit - just enough to grease the pan.

7] Fry the peppers till lightly burnt. Then add the chilli, onions & garlic.

8] Then add the red wine in. Let it stand till it bubbles.

9] Now, the tomato sauce goes in. Let it bubble again.

10] Turn off fire. Now add this sauce to the chicken on the roasting pan.

11] I crushed several olives and top the chicken with the olives. Cover with aluminium foil.

12] Off it goes into the oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and let it continue to roast for another 10 minutes or so.

13] Test if it's cooked by piercing a fork into the thickest part of the chicken. Be sure that you go right through. If clear juices run out, it's good to go.
