Chicken in Garlic Sauce with Polenta

How to prepare chicken in garlic sauce with polenta

1. Heat oil in a pot and add the wings. Season generously with salt and pepper. Fry over medium heat until very well browned on both sides.
2. Sprinkle the paprika over the meat and deglaze with water (the water should cover the meat). Add the chopped parsley. Bring to a boil. Taste for salt and pepper and add more if necessary.
3. Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes. The sauce should reduce well, below half the level of the meat.
   * the cooking time will be a bit longer if you use chicken drumsticks or larger pieces of chicken and you will need a little more water, which you add if you see the sauce reducing too much.
4. Prepare the polenta: add cold water to a pot and pour the cornmeal over it. Add salt and stir. Cook over medium heat, and when the polenta starts to thicken, turn the heat to low and stir quickly until it's done, meaning until it starts to pull away from the sides of the pot.
   * if you add the polenta to cold water it won't form lumps!
6. Add the finely chopped garlic over the chicken and cook for 1 more minute.
7. Serve the chicken in garlic sauce on a bed of polenta.
