2. Cooking Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the prunes, apricots, cherries and pine nuts and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the pine nuts are golden and the fruit is browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Add the port and cinnamon stick and cook over moderate heat until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add the stock and chicken drippings and bring to a boil.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, brown the chicken pieces over high heat until the skin is golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Scrape the dried fruit sauce and liquid into the skillet with the chicken and bring to a boil, turning the pieces of chicken until they are nicely coated with sauce, about 1 minute. Transfer to plates and serve.

3. Still Hungry?

A long-simmered stew made with dried fruit and nuts is typically Catalan. Adria's version starts with a store-bought rotisserie chicken (the ones in Spain are super-delicious) finished with a quick fruit-and-nut sauce that uses the flavorful poultry drippings.

Note

Wine

The luscious sauce here suggests a red Rioja with a smooth texture and a hint of dried cherry flavor. Pick an inexpensive, medium-bodied crianza such as the 2000 Marques de Arienzo or the 1998 Bodegas Montecillo.
