Pollo Confitado con Hierbas y Ajo (Chicken Confit with Garlic and Herbs)
By Chef Jose Andres, author of "Tapas"

Serves four

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons of pimentón
4 tablespoons salt
8 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
4 chicken leg quarters
Spanish olive oil
3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme
15-20 garlic cloves, crushed
2-3 bay leaves
1 sprig rosemary

DIRECTIONS

Combine the pimentón, salt, sugar and thyme. Rub the chicken leg quarters with the spice mixture. Let rest for a few hours up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Place the chicken in a large pot with enough olive oil to cover. You want the oil to cover the chicken by at least a half inch. Slowly bring the temperature of oil to 150-170 degrees. Maintain at that temperature. You want the oil to barely simmer. The key is to cook slow and low, slowly over low temperature. Cook the chicken for 2-3 hours or until the meat is cooked and falling off the bone. This will depend on the size of the leg quarter.

The chicken is ready to eat at this point. If you prefer a crisper chicken, preheat a skillet in a 450 degree oven. Add the leg quarters skin side down and return the skillet to the oven for 5-6 minutes until crisp.
