Making

1

Tip
Tip

You can replace the chicken legs with breasts.

2

Once they are well roasted, put them on a plate and cover them. In parallel, heat some water.

3

In the same saucepan, add the finely chopped onion and the carrot cut in small. Once the onion becomes transparent, after about 5 to 6 minutes, add the chicken legs, thyme and bay leaf again.

4

Pour the wine and let it evaporate completely, for about 5-6 minutes.

5

Then add the chopped tomatoes and pour hot water until the legs are half covered. Put the lid on and leave on medium heat for about 1 hour or until the chicken is tender and soft.

6

Add salt and pepper.

7

Using a pair of tongs, remove the legs once they have boiled. Continue to boil the sauce without the lid now.

8

Remove bones and skin and cut into small pieces. Put the pieces in the sauce. At this point, our sauce must be dense, full of flavors and a perfect taste!

9

Prepare the hilopites and after draining them, put them in the dishes. Pour in the chicken sauce and serve.

 

Enjoy !
