Ingredients

  • One or more chickens
  • 2/3 bottle wine

  • A few tomatoes
  • A handful of cloves of garlic.
  • Herbs, thyme, summer savoury.
  • A little water
  • Salt and pepper.

Method

Place the chicken in the pot and add all of the above ingredients.

Cook over a low heat for 2 1/2 hours. Check it is done then let it cool for a couple of hours.
