Ingredients
Lemon caper chicken
Spaghetti
Method
Chicken
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Place flour in a plastic bag then add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Remove from bag and shake off any excess flour.
- In a heavy-based casserole dish over medium heat, add butter and oil and cook until butter is foaming. Add drumsticks and brown for 3 minutes on each side.
- Add lemon, garlic, olives, capers, wine, stock concentrate and water and stir to combine. Bring to the boil then transfer casserole dish to oven and cook for 30 minutes, or until chicken is ready to fall off the bone.
Spaghetti
- Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add spaghetti and cook following packet instructions until just al dente. Drain.
- In a separate pan over medium heat, add oil, garlic and chilli. Cook until garlic just begins to brown then add salt.
- Remove pan from heat then stir in drained spaghetti, butter and parsley.
- Divide spaghetti between serving plates and top with chicken and sauce.
Simon says ...
Leaving the seeds in the chilli will make it hotter.
Serve topped with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and a grind of black pepper, if desired.
