   serves 4

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil + 2 Tbs for the pan
2 cloves garlic, chopped
12 sage leaves torn into large pieces
2 Tbs Res Limone + 1 Tbs for the pan
salt and pepper to taste
1 whole chicken cut into pieces
3/4 cup white wine


Clean and wash the chicken and let soak in salted water for 1/2 hour; remove and pat dry. Mix the Olive’s Oil, Res Lemon, salt, pepper, garlic and sage together and rub into the chicken pieces, rubbing some of the mixture under the skin. Let marinate for about 1/2 hour.
Heat 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil and 1 Tbs Res Lemon in a fry pan. Add the marinated chicken and the remaining marinade, garlic and sage, and cook, covered, over medium-high heat for 30 minutes, turning the chicken pieces every few minutes so they brown evenly. Lower the heat if necessary after 15 minutes to prevent the pan from drying out.
After about 30 minutes, uncover, add 1/2 cup of the white wine, and turn up the heat to cook off the wine and finish cooking the chicken.
After a few minutes, when the chicken is cooked through and the outside is a nut brown color, transfer the chicken to a platter. Deglaze the pan with a 1/4 cup white wine, and spoon the resulting sauce over the chicken.
