Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and black pepper. In a large sauté pan over medium-heat heat, cook chicken in olive oil until golden brown on both sides.
- Add brandy or white wine, and simmer (or flambé) until alcohol burns off, and brandy is reduced almost completely. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add onions and peppers to pan, and cook until light golden brown. Add garlic and cook one minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in tomatoes, pimentón, chicken wings and serrano.
- Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Add more chicken stock if necessary to maintain a sauce consistency.
- If desired, pull meat from bones and add back to sauce and peppers. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and garnish with chopped parsley.
