Original Recipe Yield 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups red wine
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken parts with salt, pepper and garlic powder and saute until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Place wine in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip chicken pieces into wine, one at a time, and return to skillet. Add any remaining wine, stock and onions, stir together and reduce heat to medium.
