Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Lightly dust the chicken drumsticks and thighs with flour, then season with salt and pepper.
-
Step 2.
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5–6 minutes, turning frequently, until a golden crust has formed.
-
Step 3.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the finely chopped onions, crushed garlic, paprika, and bay leaf. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring, until the onions are softened but not coloured.
-
Step 4.
Pour in the white wine and sherry vinegar, letting the wine bubble and reduce for 1–2 minutes. Then add the chicken stock.
-
Step 5.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
-
Step 6.
Just before serving, stir in the cooked artichoke quarters, chopped marjoram, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
